132. C. M. Eng. Bap. Coll.

Providence Kind and Bountiful.

1Thy kingdom, Lord, forever stands,

While earthly thrones decay;

And time submits to thy commands,

While ages roll away.

2Thy sovereign bounty freely gives

Its unexhausted store;

And universal nature lives

On thy sustaining power.

3Holy and just in all its ways

Is Providence divine;

In all its works, immortal rays

Of power and mercy shine.

4The praise of God--delightful theme!--

Shall fill my heart and tongue;

Let all creation bless his name,

In one eternal song.
