Thy wisdom is made manifest

In all things formed by Thy behest,

All with Thy seal's clear mark imprest.

Before the pillars of the sky

Were raised, before the mountains high

Were wrought, ere hills and dales were known,

Thou in Thy majesty alone

Didst sit, O God! upon Thy throne!

Hearts, seeking Thee, from search refrain,

And weary tongues their praise restrain.
