2 For me, O Lord! whatever lot 3 O grant that still, with grateful heart, 6s. M. 203. DRUMMOND. The One Living and True God. 1 THE God who reigns alone 2 Him all in heaven above, 3 He formed the living flame, 4 So taught his only Son, C. M. 204. TATE & BRADY. God unchangeable. 1 THROUGH endless years thou art the same, O thou Eternal God! Each future age shall know thy name, 2 The strong foundations of the earth By thee the beauteous arch of heaven, 3 Soon shall this goodly frame of things, Created by thy hand, Be, like a vesture, laid aside, And changed at thy command. 4 But thy perfections, all divine,— Through everlasting ages shine, S.
