The Infinite

Author: Watts Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #V (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Thy names, how infinite they be Lyrics: 1 Thy names, how infinite they be, Great Everlasting One! Boundless thy might and majesty, And unconfin'd thy throne. 2 Thy glories shine of wondrous size, And wondrous large thy grace; Immortal day breaks from thine eyes, And Gabriel veils his face. 3 Thine essence is a vast abyss, Which angels cannot sound, An ocean of infinities Where all our thoughts are drown'd. 4 Thy mysteries of creation lie Beneath enlighten'd minds; Thoughts can ascend above the sky, And fly before the winds. 5 Reason may grasp the massy hills, And stretch from pole to pole, But half thy name our spirit fills, And overloads our soul. 6 In vain our haughty reason swells, For nothing's found in thee But boundless unconceivables, And vast eternity.
