2 This precious truth his word declares, 3 Sinai, in clouds, and smoke, and fire, 4 In all his doctrines and commands, In ev'ry work his hands have fram'd, 5 Angels and men the news proclaim, HYMN 8. L. M. Antigua, Blendon. DODDRIDGE. God's goodness. Ps. cvii. 31. The various wonders of the Lord; sons of men, with joy record And let his power and goodness sound, Through all your tribes the earth around. 2 Let the high heavens your songs invite, Those spacious fields of brilliant light; Where sun, and moon, and planets roll, And stars, that glow from pole to pole. 3 But Oh! that brighter world above, Where lives and reigns incarnate love!
