Listen, and I will tell you a story About the God of old. A mighty rock for ages stood In highness where no other could; His throne secure and banner set To reign o'er the earth. He treads the dark and unknown; No secret lurks by night. By his omnipotent power, All is brought to light. A gesture, nod, or slant of the hand Unleashes his might in the landβ Releasing an astounding force That none can understand. His way is sure, his word is swift. In him everything consists. Marvelous works he has done Who shares his glory with no one.
All have felt the Lord's embrace, Tho' none has ever seen his face, As his eternal love and grace Envelopes the human race.
