Tonight at prayer meeting, I was reprimanded by a dear sister in Christ for not posting anything on my blog for a very long time! It has been way too long, so here I am back at it! I intend to do a picture post for some of the things I've been up to this summer. For now, I'm just going to share a hymn, that I've song most of my life that is now one of my favorites.
God, my King, thy might confessing, ever will I bless thy name;
Day by day thy throne addressing, still will I thy praise proclaim.
Honor great our God befitteth; who his majesty can reach?
Age to age his works transmitteth, age to age his power shall teach.
They shall talk of all thy glory, on thy might and greatness dwell,
speak of thy dread acts the story, and thy deeds of wonder tell.
Nor shall from mem'ry's treasure works of love and mercy wrought;
Works of love surpassing measure, works of mercy passing thought.
Full of kindness and compassion, slow to anger, vast in love,
God is good to all creation; all his works his goodness prove.
All they works, O Lord, shall bless thee; Thee shall all thy saints adore;
King supreme shall they confess thee, and proclaim they sovereign power.
~Richard Mant, 1824~
