| Text: | The infinite God, our Father |
| Tune: | LEILA |
1 Holy and infinite! viewless! eternal!
Vailed in the glory that none can sustain,
None comprehendeth thy being supernal,
Nor can the heaven of heavens contain.
2 Holy and infinite! limitless, boundless,
All thy perfections, and powers, and praise!
Ocean of mystery! awful and soundless
All thine unsearchable judgments and ways!
3 King of eternity! what revelation
Could the created and finite sustain,
But for thy marvelous manifestation,
Godhead incarnate in weakness and pain!
4 Therefore archangels and angels adore thee,
Cherubim wonder, and seraphs admire;
Therefore we praise thee, rejoicing before thee,
Joining in rapture the heavenly choir.
5 Glorious in holiness, fearful in praises,
Who shall not fear thee, and who shall not land?
Anthems of glory thy universe raises,
Holy and infinite! Father and God!
