“BE THOU EXALTED, O MY GOD.”
In this hymn the thought of Watts touches the eternal summits. Taken from the 57th and 108th Psalms—
Be Thou exalted, O my God,
Above the heavens where angels dwell;
Thy power on earth be known abroad
And land to land Thy wonders tell.
* * * * * *
High o'er the earth His mercy reigns,
And reaches to the utmost sky;
His truth to endless years remains
When lower worlds dissolve and die.
