REFLECTION III.
God, is the Lord, who reigns above,
God, is the Lord, of life and love,
God, is all gracious, good, and wise;
O waft his name beyond the skies!
God, is the Lord, of life and love,
God, is all gracious, good, and wise;
O waft his name beyond the skies!
Waft it spirits, waft it far,
Beyond the light of yonder star;
For glory shines where purest fame,
Reveals alone Jehovah's name.
Beyond the light of yonder star;
For glory shines where purest fame,
Reveals alone Jehovah's name.
Earth and Heaven, speak the Lord,
Revelation tells his word;
Works of love his spirit show,
God is Lord above, below.
Revelation tells his word;
Works of love his spirit show,
God is Lord above, below.

Come my soul, and quickly feel,
And thou my body humbly kneel;
Tongue declare, in words sublime,
What thy hope at present time!
And thou my body humbly kneel;
Tongue declare, in words sublime,
What thy hope at present time!
Hope is fix'd on him alone,
Who lives with God, Eternal One!
Hope that makes it understood,
How Christ redeemed thee with his blood.
Who lives with God, Eternal One!
Hope that makes it understood,
How Christ redeemed thee with his blood.
