| | | LORD over all! whose power the sceptre swayed, | |
| Ere first Creation’s wondrous form was framed, | |
| When by His will divine all things were made; | |
| Then King Almighty was His name proclaimed! | |
| |
| When all shall cease—the universe be o’er, | 5 |
| In awful greatness He alone will reign, | |
| Who was, who is, and who will evermore | |
| In glory most refulgent still remain. | |
| |
| Sole God! unequalled, and beyond compare, | |
| Without division or associate; | 10 |
| Without commencing date or final year, | |
| Ominpotent He reigns in awful state. | |
| |
| To Him, no like, no equal e’er can be; | |
| He, without change or substitute remains, | |
| Without divisibleness or adjunct, He | 15 |
| In highest might and power supremely reigns. | |
| |
| He is my God! my living Savior He! | |
| My sheltering Rock in sad misfortune’s hour! | |
| My standard, refuge, portion, still shall be, | |
| My lot’s Disposer when I seek His power. | 20 |
| |
| Into His hands my spirit I consign | |
| Whilst wrapped in sleep, that I again may wake: | |
| And with my soul, my body I resign; | |
| The Lord with me,—no fears my soul can shake. | | | | |
