THE DIVINE SUPREMACY.
“Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like
thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?”
—Exodus, xv. 11.
Who is like to thee, O Lord!
Among gods by man adored?
Who like thee can save and bless,
Glorious still in holiness?
Among gods by man adored?
Who like thee can save and bless,
Glorious still in holiness?
Fearful yet in praises found,
Doing wonders all around,
Gods that have been, or shall be,
Never can be named with Thee.
Doing wonders all around,
Gods that have been, or shall be,
Never can be named with Thee.
Thou alone for ever art!
Thou alone discern'st the heart;
Thou alone the thoughts dost try,
Thou alone canst grace supply.
Thou alone discern'st the heart;
Thou alone the thoughts dost try,
Thou alone canst grace supply.
In thy providence we see
Daily, hourly marks of Thee;
All that charms our sense or sight
Owns thy rule, and pleads thy right.

All that charms our sense or sight
Owns thy rule, and pleads thy right.

Thou, at time's far distant birth,
Formed'st heaven, created'st earth,
Gav'st the sun the day to guide,
Bad'st the moon o'er night preside.
Formed'st heaven, created'st earth,
Gav'st the sun the day to guide,
Bad'st the moon o'er night preside.
But thy richest crown we trace
In the myst'ries of thy grace;
In redemption's matchless scheme
Own thy love, thy power supreme!
In the myst'ries of thy grace;
In redemption's matchless scheme
Own thy love, thy power supreme!
There thou risest to our view
As our God and Saviour too;
There we hear thy Spirit's call;
There we find Thee all in all.
As our God and Saviour too;
There we hear thy Spirit's call;
There we find Thee all in all.
