EN 5766 Amid the Splendors of Thy State
1John.4.8
Versi Version 1
1
Amid the splendors of Thy state,
My God, Thy love appears
With the soft radiance of the moon
Among a thousand stars.
2
Nature through all her ample round
Thy boundless power proclaims,
And in melodious accent, speaks
The goodness of Thy names.
3
Thy justice, holiness, and truth,
Our solemn awe excite;
But the sweet charms of sovereign grace
O’erwhelm us with delight.
4
Sinai, in clouds, and smoke, and fire,
Thunders Thy dreadful Name;
But Sion sings, in melting notes,
The honors of the Lamb.
5
In all Thy doctrine and commands,
Thy counsels and designs,
In every work Thy hands have framed,
Thy love supremely shines.
6
Angels and men the news proclaim,
Through earth and Heaven above,
The joyful and transporting news,
That God the Lord is love!
