WATTS 1 ETERNAL Wisdom, thee we praise; While with thy name, rocks, hills, and seas, 2 Thy hand, how wide it spread the sky! Tinged with a blue of heavenly dye, 3 Thy glories blaze all nature round, Through skies, and seas, and solid ground, 4 Almighty power, and equal skill, 124. S. M. MRS.

God Unchangeable. TATE & BRADY 1 THROUGH endless years thou art the same, Each future age shall know thy name, 2 The strong foundations of the earth By thee the beauteous arch of heaven 3 Soon may this goodly frame of things Be, like a vesture, laid aside, 4 But thy perfections, all divine, Through everlasting ages shine, 128.
