A Collection of Hymns and Sacred Songs #9
1 God of the world! Thy glories shine
Through earth and Heav’n, with rays divine;
Thy smile gives beauty to the flower,
Thine anger to the tempest power.
2 God of our lives! the throbbing heart
Doth at Thy beck its action start—
Throbs on, obedient to Thy will,
Or ceases, at Thy fatal chill.
3 God of eternal life! Thy love
Doth every stain of sin remove;
The cross, the cross—its hallowed light
Shall drive from earth her cheerless night.
4 God of all goodness! to the skies
Our hearts in grateful anthems rise;
And to Thy service shall be giv’n
The rest of life—the whole of Heav’n.
