The Lord, the great I AM, by earth and heaven confessed we bow before his holy name forever blest. 2 He by his name has sworn, on this we shall depend, and as on eagles' wings upborne to heaven ascend. There we shall see his face, his power we shall adore and sing the wonders of his grace forevermore. 3 The goodly land I see, with peace and plenty blest, a land of sacred liberty and endless rest. There milk and honey flow, and oil and wine abound; the tree of life forever grows with mercy crowned. 4 There rules the Lord our King, the Lord our Righteousness, victorious over death and sin, the Prince of Peace. On Zion's sacred height his kingdom he maintains, and glorious with his saints in light forever reigns. 5 Triumphant hosts on high give thanks to God and sing, and "Holy, holy, holy" cry, "Almighty King!" Hail, Abraham's God and ours! One mighty hymn we raise. All power and majesty be yours and endless praise!

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, in lowlier ways, with true adoration shall sing to thy praise. Topics: God in majesty; Providence Used With Tune: HANOVER
