Timeless Tribute

Tune: St Clement

(\'The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended\')

Romans 11 v.33-36

*********

O the depths of the riches, here see

Both of God wisdom, knowledge be!

How unsearchable be His judgements

Ways past finding out by human sense!

 

For who has known the mind of the Lord?

Who can give Him advising word?

Or who has been His counsellor wise

No humans have, e\'en if one tries

 

Or who has given unto Him first

And He shall repay them? Who durst

Believe He be in our debt, owing

Us, when He to us gives each thing?

 

For of Him, and through Him, and unto

Him, are all things, He Lord, \'tis true

To whom be glory ever, ever

Amen, praises flow cease never
