Author: Benjamin Skene Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: How sweet the praise, how high the theme Lyrics: 1 How sweet the praise, how high the theme,
To sing of Him who rules supreme,
Who dwells at God’s right hand on high,
Yet looks on us with tender eye.
2 Th’angelic host in countless throngs
Recount His glories in their songs,
And golden harps salute His ear;
Yet our weak praise He deigns to hear.
3 The planets roll their orbits round;
Unnumbered worlds, in space profound,
Are ruled by Him, by Him controlled;
Yet He’s the Shepherd of our fold.
4 Exalted high upon His throne,
The universe is all His own;
Untold the honors He doth wear;
Yet we are objects of His care.
