James Montgomery
God in Creation, Providence, and Grace.
| Creator, Redeemer, and Spirit of Truth, One God over all evermore, In songs of thanksgiving, let manhood and youth Extol Thee, and praise, and adore. | | Thy power we behold in the works of Thy hand The heavens Thy glory declare; Thy Providence rules over ocean and land; All creatures that live are Thy care. | | Thy love beyond thought in the Gospel we trace; The gift of all gifts is Thy Son, Redeeming, restoring, and blessing our race, When fallen, condemn'd, and undone. | | Thy kindness, long-suffering and mercy to crown, The heirs of salvation to seal, And dwell in Thy people,--the Spirit came down; His influence now let us feel. | | The Father, the Son, and the Spirit of truth, One God over all evermore, Let manhood and age join with childhood and youth, To honour, praise, love, and adore. | |
