EN 866 While Men Grow Bold in Wicked Ways

Ps.36.1

Versi Version 1

1

While men grow bold in wicked ways,

And yet a God they own,

My heart within me often says,

“Their thoughts believe there’s none.”

2

Their thoughts and ways at once declare,

Whate’er their lips profess,

God hath no wrath for them to fear,

Nor will they seek His grace.

3

What strange self-flattery blinds their eyes!

But there’s a hastening hour,

When they shall see with sore surprise

The terrors of Thy power.

4

Thy justice shall maintain its throne,

Though mountains melt away;

Thy judgments are a world unknown,

A deep, unfathomed sea.

5

Above the heav’ns’ created rounds,

Thy mercies, Lord, extend;

Thy truth outlives the narrow bounds

Where time and nature end.

6

Safety to man Thy goodness brings,

Nor overlooks the beast;

Beneath the shadow of Thy wings

Thy children choose to rest.

7

From Thee, when creature-streams run low.

And mortal comforts die,

Perpetual springs of life shall flow,

And raise our pleasures high.

8

Though all created light decay,

And death close up our eyes,

Thy presence makes eternal day,

Where clouds can never rise.
