Some seraph lend your heavenly tongue

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #15 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Some seraph lend your heavenly tongue, Or harp of golden string, That I may raise a lofty song, To our Eternal King. 2 Thy names how infinite they be! Great EVERLASTING ONE! Boundless thy might and majesty, And unconfin'd thy throne. 3 Thy glories shine of wondrous size, And wondrous large thy grace; Immortal day breaks from thine eyes, And Gabriel veils his face. 4 Thine essence is a vast abyss, Which angels cannot sound; An ocean of infinities Where all our thoughts are drown'd. 5 Thy myst'ries of creation lie Beneath enlighten'd minds; Thoughts can ascend above the sky, And fly before the winds; 6 Reason may grasp the massy hills, And stretch from pole to pole; But half thy name our spirit fills, And overloads our soul. 7 In vain our haughty reason swells, For nothing's found in Thee, But boundless inconceivables, And vast eternity!

Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #32 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Some seraph, lend your heavenly tongue, Or harp of golden string, That I may raise a lofty song To our eternal King. 2 Thy names, how infinite they be! Great, Everlasting One! Boundless thy might and majesty, And unconfined thy throne. 3 Thy glory shines immensely bright; Exhaustless is thy grace; Immortal day breaks from thine eyes, And Gabriel veils his face. 4 Thine essence is a vast abyss, Which angels can not sound; An ocean of infinities, Where all our thoughts are drowned.
