Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10315 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 He who on earth as man was known,
And bore our sins and pains;
Now, seated on th’eternal throne,
The God of glory reigns.
2 His hands the wheels of nature guide
With an unerring skill;
And countless worlds extended wide,
Obey His sovereign will.
3 While harps unnumbered sound His praise,
In yonder world above;
His saints on earth admire His ways,
And glory in His love.
4 His righteousness, to faith revealed,
Wrought out for guilty worms,
Affords a hiding place and shield,
From enemies and storms.
5 This land, through which His pilgrims go,
Is desolate and dry;
But streams of grace from Him o’erflow
Their thirst to satisfy.
6 When troubles, like a burning sun,
Beat heavy on their head;
To this almighty Rock they run,
And find a pleasing shade.
7 How glorious He! how happy they
In such a glorious friend!
Whose love secures them all the way,
And crowns them at the end. Languages: English Tune Title: MAITLAND
