Acts 17:25: Can the great God His creatures need
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Can the great God His creatures need?
His creature doth from Him proceed
Who life, and breath, and all things gives;
Him when we worship, serve, and praise,
In love and condescending grace
His majesty its own receives.
Him self-sufficient and alone,
Fountain of every good we own,
And humbly rendering Him His right
Our spirits at His footstool lay,
Our prostrate adoration pay,
And sink to nothing in His sight!
