1 Eternal Wisdom, thee we praise,
Thee the creation sings;
With thy lov'd name, rocks, hills, and seas,
And heaven's high palace rings.
2 Thy hand how wide it spread the sky!
How glorious to behold!
Ting'd with a blue of heavenly dye,
And starr'd with sparkling gold.
3 Thy glories blaze all nature round,
And strike the gazing sight,
Thro' skies, and seas, and solid ground,
With terror and delight.
4 Infinite strength, and equal skill
Shine thro' the worlds abroad;
Our souls with vast amazement fill
And speak the builder GOD.
5 But still the wonders of thy grace
Our softer passions move;
Pity divine in JESUS' face
We see, adore, and love.
