Tune: Winchester Old
(\'While shepherds watched...\')
Isaiah 40 v.12-17
********
Who has the waters now measured?
Who made them, who them stirred?
To create such, it was the Lord
All things made by His word
The waters, all of every land
Are contained in His hand
And who has the heaven measured?
With their hand, be assured
Be assured that the Lord is he
Who makes thes things to be
And who has measured dust of earth?
E\'en us, gave us our worth
Who weighed the mountains out in scales?
He whose strength never fails
And weighed out hills in a balance
His greatness true we sense
Who has directed His Spirit?
And who His way has lit?
Who being His counsellor taught
Him, and Him wisdom brought?
Behold, the nations are as drop
In a bucket, so stop
We to account the Lord\'s greatness
And His strong name confess
The nations counted as dust small
When weighed in balance all
Behold, the Lord takes up each isle
Very small they compile
They are before Him as nothing
All nations, who can bring
A worthy offering, and say
We worship well today?
The nations less than nothing be
Though He regards each, see
They are vanity and worthless
Yet He does each address
