v.5-9 <br />L. M. <br />The perfections and providence of God. <br /> <br />High in the heav'ns, eternal God, <br />Thy goodness in full glory shines <br />Thy truth shall break through every cloud <br />That veils and darkens thy designs. <br /> <br />For ever firm thy justice stands, <br />As mountains their foundations keep; <br />Wise are the wonders of thy hands; <br />Thy judgments are a mighty deep. <br /> <br />Thy providence is kind and large, <br />Both man and beast thy bounty share; <br />The whole creation is thy charge, <br />But saints are thy peculiar care. <br /> <br />My God! how excellent thy grace, <br />Whence all our hope and comfort springs! <br />The sons of Adam in distress <br />Fly to the shadow of thy wings. <br /> <br />From the provisions of thy house <br />We shall be fed with sweet repast; <br />There mercy like a river flows, <br />And brings salvation to our taste. <br /> <br />Life, like a fountain rich and free, <br />Springs from the presence of the Lord; <br />And in thy light our souls shall see <br />The glories promised in thy word.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-36/
