ST. THOMAS. (8 7. 8 7. 8 7.) 𝅗𝅥 = 76. J. F. Wade's Caalui Diversi (1751).
George Rawson (1807-1889). God the Lord is King—before him Earth, with all thy nations, wait! Where the cherubim adore him, Sitteth he in royal state: He is holy; Blessed, only Potentate!
God the Lord is King of glory, Zion, tell the world his fame; Ancient Israel, the story Of his faithfulness proclaim: He is holy; Holy is his awful name.
In old times when dangers darkened,
When, invoked by priest and seer, To his people's cry he hearkened; Answered them in all their fear: He is holy; As they called, they found him near.
Laws divine to them were spoken From the pillar of the cloud ; Sacred precepts, quickly broken ! Fiercely then his vengeance flowed: He is holy; To the dust their hearts were bowed.
But their Father God forgave them When they sought his face once more; Ever ready was to save them. Tenderly did he restore: He is holy; We, too, will his grace implore.
God in Christ is all forgiving, Waits his mercy to fulfil: Come, exalt him, all the living; Come, ascend his Zion still! He is holy; Worship at his holy hill.
