Great, great God, how infinite thou art

1Great, great God, how infinite thou art!
What worthless worms are we!
Let the whole race of creatures bow,
And pay their praise to thee.

2Thy throne eternal ages stood,
Ere seas or stars were made;
Thou art the ever-living God,
Were all the nations dead.

3Eternity, with all its years,
Stands present in thy view;
To thee there's nothing old appears,
Nor ought is new.
