Nature and time quite nak­ed lie
Inestimable worth ap­pears
And bled for Ad­am’s help­less race:
How dull are all the pow­ers of sense

Thy wealth the pow’r of thought trans­cends,
Thou wouldst my sure­ty be;
Unloose our stam­mer­ing tongues to tell
Thee to per­fect­ion who can know?

They ev­er find a sure de­fense
Maker of this migh­ty frame!
From the for­ma­tion of the sky
Jesus, to mul­ti­tudes un­known—
For O my God, it found out me!

The bound­less gran­deur of our God,
Thy em­pire, Lord, o’er worlds ex­tends—
Thereby to set me free.
First-born of ma­ny breth­ren, Thou!
Thy count­less at­trib­utes to show?
Love to all of hu­man­kind;
