Hymnal: The Psalms of David #H16 (1789) First Line: Immortal God, on thee we call Lyrics: 1 Immortal God, on thee we call,
The great original of all;
Thro' thee we are, to thee we tend,
Our sure support, our glorious end.
2 We praise that wise mysterious grace,
That pitied our revolted race,
And Jesus, our great cov'nant-head,
The captain of salvation made.
3 Thy justice doom'd that he must die,
Who for our sins would satisfy;
His death was therefore fix'd of old,
And in thy word of truth foretold.
4 A scene of wonders here we see,
Worthy thy Son, and worthy thee;
And, while this theme employs our tongues,
All heav'n unites its sweetest songs. Topics: Heidelberg Catechism Lord's Day 16 Languages: English
