Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #XLIV (1790) First Line: Thou art O God! a spirit pure Lyrics: 1 Thou art O God! a spirit pure,
Invisible to mortal eyes,
Th' immortal, and the eternal King,
The great, the good, the only wise.
2 Whilst nature changes, and her works
Corrupt, decay, dissolve and die,
Thy essence pure no change shall see,
Secure of immortality.
3 Thou great Invisible! what hand
Can draw thy image spotless fair?
To what in Heaven, to what on earth,
Can men th' immortal king compare.
4 Let stupid heathens frame their gods,
Of gold and silver, wood and stone
Ours is the God that made the Heavens,
Jehovah he, and God alone.
5 My soul, thy purest homage pay,
In truth and Spirit him adore,
More shall this please than sacrifice,
Than outward forms, delight him more. Languages: English
