2 Fixed and eternal as thy days,
Each glorious attribute divine
Through ages infinite shall still
With undiminished lustre shine.

3 Fountain of being! Source of good!
Immutable thou dost remain!

Nor can the shadow of a change
Obscure the glories of thy reign.

4 Earth may, with all her powers, dissolve,
If such the great Creator's will;
But thou forever art the same,

I AM, is thy memorial still.

3 Nor shall thy spreading gospel rest
Till through the world thy truth has run,
Till Christ has all the nations blest

That see the light or feel the sun.

4 Great Sun of Righteousness, arise,
Bless the dark world with heavenly light;
Thy gospel makes the simple wise,
Thy laws are pure, thy judgments right.

2 Chance and change are busy ever; Man decays, and ages move;

But his mercy waneth never;
God is wisdom, God is love.

3 E'en the hour that darkest seemeth,
Will his changeless goodness prove;
From the gloom his brightness streameth;
God is wisdom, God is love.

4 He with earthly cares entwineth
Hope and comfort from above;
Everywhere his glory shineth;
God is wisdom, God is love.

4 End, in the dawn of that Immortal Day,

Of which thou art the Sun, O Love Divine!
When, all illumed by thee, we find for aye
Our conscience, reason, will, conformed to thine.
Rev. A. J. Patterson, D.D.

As the Father who would have us Come and gath -er round his feet? A-MEN.

2 There's a wideness in God's mercy Like the wideness of the sea;

There's a kindness in his justice

Which is more than liberty. There's no place where earthly sorrows Are more felt than up in heaven; There's no place where earthly failings Have such kindly judgment given.

3 There is grace enough for thousands
Of new worlds as great as this;
There is room for fresh creations
In that upper home of bliss.
For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of man's mind,
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.

4 But we make his love too narrow
By false limits of our own,
And we magnify his strictness

With a zeal he will not own.
If our love were but more simple,
We should take him at his word,
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.
