‘How precious also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!’— Ps. cxxxix. 17.

Oh, how wonderful and precious are Thy thoughts to us, O God!
Outlined in Creation, blazoned on Redemption's banner broad;
Infinite and deep and dazzling as the noontide heavens above;
Yet more wonderful to usward are Thy thoughts of peace and love.
