[What nation is so high]

What nation is there so great, that hath God so nigh unto them? [Heb. God who are so nigh. Deuteronomy iv. 7.

What nation is so high
As we that Christ hath known,
And in Jehovah glorify
The' eternal Three in One?

Lord of the heavenly powers
We see Him always here:
Who have so great a God as ours,
A God that are so near!
Our souls the Father keeps,
And will not quit His hold;
And Israel's Shepherd never sleeps,
But watches o'er His fold;
Till time and nature ends,
With us the Spirit abides,
And the whole Trinity attends,
Our everlasting Guides.
