O gratefully sing His power and His love! Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendour, and girded with praise. 2 O tell of His might, O sing of His grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form; And dark is His path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth, with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old, Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail: Thy mercies, how tender, how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend. 6 O measureless Might, ineffable Love, While angels delight to hymn Thee above, The humbler creation, though feeble their lays, With true adoration shall sing to Thy praise.

Jesu, perfect my trust, Strengthen the grasp of my faith: Let me feel Thee near when I stand On the edge of the shore of death; 6 Feel Thee near when my feet Are slipping over the brink; For it may be I'm nearer home, Nearer now than I think.

And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When thou comest and callest for me. Used With Tune: MARGARET

Where high the heavenly temple stands
