Great God, thy penetrating eye
Pervades my inmost powers;
With awe profound my wondering soul
Falls prostrate, and adores.
To be encompassed round with God,
The holy and the just;
Armed with Omnipotence to save,
or crumble me to dust.
O. How tremendous is the thought!
Deep may it be imprest!
And may thy spirit firmly grace
This truth within my breast!
By thee observed —by thee upheld,
Let earth or hell oppose;
I’ll press with dauntless courage on,
And dare the proudest foes.
Yes, for thy arm shall be my strength,
And thine Almighty pow’r
Shall well fulfil thy promises,
And victory secure.
Begin with thee, my fearless soul
The gloomy vale shall tread;
And thou wilt bind th’immortal crown
Of glory on my head.
