Eternity of God.

THROUGH endless years thou art the same O thou eternal God! Ages to come shall know thy name, And tell thy works abroad.

The strong foundations of the earth Of old by thee were laid; By thee the beauteous arch of heaven With matchless skill was made.

Soon shall this goodly frame of things, Formed by thy powerful hand, Be, like a vesture, laid aside, And changed at thy command.

But thy perfections, all divine, Eternal as thy days, Through everlasting ages shine With undiminished rays.
