High in the heavens, Eternal God,
Thy goodness in full glory shines;
Thy truth shall break through every cloud
That veils and darkens Thy designs
Forever firm Thy justice stands,
As mountains their foundations keep;
Wise are the wonders of Thy hands;
Thy judgments are a mighty deep.
My God, how excellent Thy grace,
Whence all our hope and comfort spring!
The sons of men in their distress
Fly to the shadow of Thy wing.
Life, like a fountain rich and free,
Springs from the presence of my Lord;
And in thy light our souls shall see
The glories promised in Thy word.
From the pen of John Milton, 1608-1674
Let us with gladsome mind
Praise the Lord, for He is kind:
For His mercies shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
He, with all commanding might,
filled the new-made world with light:
For His mercies shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
All things living He doth feed;
His full hand supplies their need;
For His mercies shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
"My help cometh from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:2
Psalm 121:2
"Be strong and of good courage,
be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed:
For the Lord thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest."
Joshua 1:9
