Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCXXX (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God His Goodness First Line: Great God, my maker, and my king Lyrics: 1 Great God, my maker, and my King,
Of thee I'll speak, of thee I'll sing;
All thou hast done, and all thou dost,
Declare thee good, proclaim thee just:
2 Thy ancient thoughts and firm decrees,
Thy threat'nings and thy promises,
The joys of Heav'n, the pains of hell,
What angels taste, what devils feel.
3 Thy terrors and thine acts of grace,
Thy threat'ning rod, and smiling face,
Thy wounding and thy healing word,
A world undone, a world restor'd
4 While these excite my fear and joy;
While these my tuneful lips employ;
Accept O Lord, the humble song,
The tribute of a trembling tongue. Languages: English
The justice and goodness of God
