THE
GLORIES
of
GOD
Exceed
all
Worship
.
I.
ETERNAL
Power
!
whose
high
Abode
Becomes
the
Grandeur
of
a
God
;
Infinite
Lengths
beyond
the
Bounds
Where
the
Skies
roll
their
little
Rounds
.
II
.
The
lowest
Step
about
thy
Seat
Rises
too
high
for
Gabriel's
Feet
,
In
vain
the
tall
Arch-Angel
tries
To
reach
thine
height
with
wondring
Eyes
.
III
.
Thy
dazling
Beauties
whilst
he
Sings
He
hides
his
Face
behind
his
Wings
,
And
Ranks
of
Shining
Thrones
around
Fall
Worshipping
,
and
spread
the
Ground
.
IV
.
Lord
,
what
shall
Earth
and
Ashes
do
!
We
would
adore
our
Maker
too
,
From
Sin
and
Dust
to
thee
we
cry
The
Great
,
the
Holy
,
and
the
High
.
V.
Earth
from
afar
has
heard
thy
Fame
,
And
Worms
have
learnt
to
lisp
thy
Name
.
But
,
O
,
the
Glories
of
thy
Mind
Leave
all
our
soaring
Thoughts
behind
.
VI
.
God
is
in
Heaven
,
and
Men
below
,
Short
be
our
Tunes
,
our
Words
be
few
;
A
Sacred
Reverence
checks
our
Songs
,
And
Praise
sits
silent
on
our
Tongues
.
