Great God! Beneath Whose piercing eye The earth???s extended kingdoms lie; Whose favoring smile upholds them all, Whose anger smites them, and they fall. We bow before Thy heavenly throne; Thy power we see, Thy greatness own; Yet, cherished by Thy milder voice, Our bosoms tremble and rejoice. Thy kindness to our fathers shown Their children???s children long shall own; To Thee, with grateful hearts, shall raise The tribute of exulting praise. Led on by Thine unerring aid, Secure the paths of life we tread; And, freely as the vital air, Thy first and noblest bounties share. Great God, our Guardian, Guide and Friend! O still Thy sheltering arm extend; Preserved by Thee for ages past, For ages let Thy kindness last!
