Hymns of the Lutheran Church

67 High in the heavens, eternal God

1 High in the heavens, eternal God, Thy goodness in full glory shines; Thy truth shall break through every cloud That veils and darkens Thy designs. 2 Forever firm Thy justice stands, As mountains their foundations keep; Wise are the wonders of Thy hands; Thy judgments are a mighty deep. 3 My God, how excellent Thy grace, Whence all our hope and comfort spring! The sons of Adam in distress Fly to the shadow of Thy wing. 4 Life, like a fountain rich and free, Springs from the presence of my Lord; And in Thy light our souls shall see The glorious promise in Thy word.
