Our Souls With Pleasing Wonder View

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10620 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Our souls with pleasing wonder view The bounties of Thy grace; How much bestowed, how much reserved, For them that seek Thy face! 2 Thy liberal hand with worldly bliss Oft makes their cup run o’er; And in the covenant of Thy love They find diviner store. 3 Here mercy hides their numerous sins; Here grace their souls renews; Here Thine own reconcilèd face Doth heav’nly beams diffuse. 4 But O! what treasures yet unknown Are lodged in worlds to come? If these th’enjoyment of the Way, How happy is their home? 5 And what shall mortal worms reply? Or how such goodness own? But ’tis our joy that, Lord, to Thee Thy servants’ hearts are known. 6 Thine eyes shall read those grateful thoughts, No language can express; Yet when our liveliest thanks we pay, Our debts do most increase. 7 Since time’s too short, all gracious God, To utter half Thy praise, Lord, to the honor of Thy name Eternal hymns we’ll raise.
