High in the heavens, Isaac Watts

82 De Pauw. L. M.

1 High in the heav’ns, eternal God,
   Thy goodness in full glory shines;
   Thy truth shall break through ev’ry cloud
   That veils and darkens Thy designs.

2 For ever 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 springs!
   The sons of Adam in distress
   Fly to the shadow of Thy wings.

4 Life, like a fountain rich and free,
   Springs from the presence of the Lord;
   And in Thy light our souls shall see
   The glories promised in Thy Word.
                         Isaac Watts

Hymnary.org inserts a third verse:

3 Thy providence is kind and large,
   Both man and beast Thy bounty share;
   The whole creation is Thy charge,
   But saints are Thy peculiar care.

And after our verse 3, as verse 5

5 From the provisions of Thy house
   We shall be fed with sweet repast;
   When mercy like a river flows,
   And brings salvation to our taste.
