For as the heaven in its height the earth surmounteth far; So great to those that do him fear his tender mercies are:
For great to heav'n thy mercy is, thy truth is to the sky.
But unto them that do him fear God's mercy never ends; And to their children's children still his righteousness extends:
Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heav'ns; thy truth doth reach the clouds:
For mercy shall be built, said I, for ever to endure; Thy faithfulness, ev'n in the heav'ns, thou wilt establish sure.
In secret of thy presence thou shalt hide them from man's pride: From strife of tongues thou closely shalt, as in a tent, them hide.
For great to us-ward ever are his loving-kindnesses: His truth endures for evermore. The Lord O do ye bless.
