The London Fox Singers - O God, Thou Bottomless

O God, Thou bottomless abyss
Thee to perfection who can know?
O height immense! What words suffice
Thy countless attributes to show?

Unfathomable depths Thou art
O, plunge me in Thy mercy's sea
Void of true wisdom is my heart
With love embrace and cover me

Eternity Thy fountain was
Which, like Thee, no beginning knew
Thou wast ere Time began his race
Ere glow'd with stars the ethereal blue

Unchangeable, all-perfect Lord
Essential life's unbounded sea
What lives and moves, lives by Thy word
It lives and moves and is from Thee

Parent of Good, Thy bounteous hand
Incessant blessings down distils
And all in air, or sea, or land
With plenteous food and gladness fills

Greatness unspeakable is Thine
Greatness, whose undiminished ray
When short-lived worlds are lost, shall shine
When earth and heaven are fled away

When short-lived worlds are lost, shall shine
When earth and heaven are fled away
