English poem
Be Thou Exalted, O My God.
by Hezekiah Butterworth (1839–1905)
In this hymn the thought of Watts touches the eternal summits. Taken from the 57th and 108th Psalms--
Be Thou exalted, O my God, Above the heavens where angels dwell; Thy power on earth be known abroad And land to land Thy wonders tell.

High o'er the earth His mercy reigns, And reaches to the utmost sky; His truth to endless years remains When lower worlds dissolve and die.
