"The Divine Perfections"

A hymn written by Isaac Watts. (in long meter)

John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

"The Divine Perfections"

1. Jehovah reigns, His throne is high,
His robes are light and majesty;
His glory shines with beams so bright,
No mortal can sustain the sight.

2. His terrors keep the world in awe;
His justice guards His holy law;
His love reveals a smiling face;
His truth and promise seal the grace.

3. Through all His works His wisdom shines,
And baffles Satan's deep designs;
His pow'r is sov'reign, to fulfil
The noblest counsels of His will.

4. And will this glorious Lord descend
To be my Father and my Friend?
Then let my songs with angels join;
Heav'n is secure, if God be mine.
