To Thee, Most Holy, And Most High

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12087 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 To Thee, most Holy, and most High, To Thee we bring our thankful praise; Thy works declare Thy name is nigh, Thy works of wonder and of grace. 2 Our nation doomed to be a slave, [originally, Britain was doomed to be a slave] Her frame dissolved; her fears were great; When God a new supporter gave To bear the pillars of the state. 3 He from Thy hand received his crown, And swore to rule by wholesome laws; His foot shall tread th’oppressor down, His arm defend the righteous cause. 4 Let haughty sinners sink their pride, Nor lift so high their scornful head; But lay their foolish thoughts aside, And own the king that God hath made. 5 Such honors never come by chance, Nor do the winds promotion blow: ’Tis God the Judge doth one advance, ’Tis God that lays another low. 6 No vain pretense to royal birth Shall fix a tyrant on the throne: God the great Sovereign of the earth Will rise and make His justice known. 7 His hand holds out the dreadful cup Of vengeance mixed with various plagues, To make the wicked drink them up, Wring out and taste the bitter dregs. 8 Now shall the Lord exalt the just, And while He tramples on the proud And lays their glory in the dust, My lips shall sing His praise aloud.
