HYMN 1. The Eternity of the Great GOD.
1
In th'Regions of Eternal Light,thou hast most Holy God;
From everlasting in thy Self,
had thy own bless'd abode:
2
Before this World by thee was fram'd,or, Earth's Foundations laid;
Or, the vast Heavens were spread forth
or any Creature made.
6
3
Thou didst in Glory, Lord, abide;thy being hadst alone,
In thy own Self, and none beside,
was with the Holy One.
4
The Eternity of thy great Name,help us, Lord, to Adore:
From everlasting thy dread Fame
shone, and shall Evermore.
5
Thou Happy wast in thy own Self,and that in th'high'st degree;
To thy essential Glory, Lord,
nothing can added be,
6
Thou need'st not us; What canst thou havefrom any Creatures hand?
Yet to ascribe all Praise to Thee,
is thy most just Command.
