Beyond all mortal praise

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Beyond all mortal praise God's name be ever blest, unsearchable his ways, his glory manifest; from his high throne in power and might by wisdom's light he rules alone. 2 Our times are in his hand to whom all flesh is grass, while as their Maker planned the changing seasons pass. He orders all: before his eyes earth's empires rise, her kingdoms fall. 3 He gives to humankind, dividing as he will, all powers of heart and mind, of spirit, strength and skill: nor dark nor night but must lay bare its secrets, where he dwells in light. 4 To God the only Lord, our fathers' God, be praise; his holy name adored through everlasting days. His mercies trace in answered prayer, in love and care, and gifts of grace. Topics: Change; God in glory; God in majesty; God in mystery; Praise; Seasons Scripture: Daniel 2:20-23 Used With Tune: MARLBOROUGH GATE
