Hymn. Glory of God above our Reason. 1 How wondrous great, how glorious bright Must our Creator be, Who dwells amidst the dazzling light 2 Our soaring spirits upward rise Fain would we see the blessed Three, 3 Our reason stretches all it's wings, 4 LORD, here we bend our humble souls, For the weak pinions of our mind 5 Thy glories infinitely rise 6 In humble notes our faith adores While angels strain their noblest pow'rs, Hymn.
