387 We sing of God, the mighty source

1 We sing of God, the mighty source of all things; the stupendous force on which all strength depends; from whose right arm, beneath whose eyes, all period, power, and enterprise commences, reigns, and ends.

2 Tell them I AM, the Lord God said, to Moses while on earth in dread and smitten to the heart, at once, above, beneath, around, all nature without voice or sound replied, O Lord, thou art.

3 Glorious the sun in mid career; glorious the assembled fires appear; glorious the comet’s train: glorious the trumpet and alarm; glorious the almighty stretched-out arm; glorious the enraptured main:

4 Glorious, most glorious, is the crown of him that brought salvation down by meekness, Mary’s son; seers that stupendous truth believed, and now the matchless deed’s achieved, determined, dared, and done.
