Great God, how infinite thou art!
1
Great God, how infinite thou art!What worthless worms are we!Let the whole race of creatures bow,And pay their praise to thee.
2
Thy throne eternal ages stood,Ere seas or stars were made;Thou art the ever-living God,Were all the nations dead.
3
Eternity, with all its years,Stands present in thy view;To thee there's nothing old appears,Nor aught to thee is new!
4
Our lives through various scenes are drawn,And vexed with trifling cares;While thy eternal thought moves onThy undisturbed affairs.

Great God, how infinite thou art!What worthless worms are we!Let the whole race of creatures bow,And pay their praise to thee.
