The Eternity of the Great GOD.
IN th' Regions of Eternal Light, thou hast most Holy God; From everlasting in thy Self, had thy own blessed abode: Before this World by thee was framed, or, Earth's Foundations laid; Or, the vast Heavens were spread forth or any Creature made.
IN th' Regions of Eternal Light, thou hast most Holy God; From everlasting in thy Self, had thy own bless'd abode: Before this World by thee was fram'd, or, Earth's Foundations laid; Or, the vast Heavens were spread forth or any Creature made.
3 Thou didst in Glory, Lord, abide; thy being hadst alone, In thy own Self, and none beside, was with the Holy One. 4 The Eternity of thy great Name, help us, Lord, to Adore: From everlasting thy dread Fame shone, and shall Evermore.
5 Thou Happy wast in thy own Self, and that in th' highest degree; To thy essential Glory, Lord, nothing can added be, 6 Thou needest not us; What canst thou have from any Creatures hand? Yet to ascribe all Praise to Thee, is thy most just Command.
