My God, How Wonderful Thou Art

Author: Frederick W. Faber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 346 hymnals Topics: Resurrection and Glorification Lyrics: 1 My God, how wonderful thou art, thy majesty how bright! How beautiful thy mercy seat, in depths of burning light! 2 Wondrous are thine eternal years, O everlasting Lord, by holy angels day and night unceasingly adored! 3 O how I fear thee, living God, with deepest, tend'rest fears, and worship thee with trembling hope and penitential tears! 4 Yet I may love thee too, O Lord, almighty as thou art, for thou hast stooped to ask of me the love of my poor heart. 5 No earthly father loves like thee, no mother half so mild bears and forbears, as thou hast done with me, thy sinful child. 6 How wonderful, how beautiful, the sight of thee will be, thine endless wisdom, boundless pow'r, and awesome purity! 7 Father of Jesus, Love divine, what rapture it will be, prostrate before thy throne to lie, and gaze and gaze on thee! Scripture: Psalm 113 Used With Tune: ST. ETHELDREDA

What Honours shall thy Son adorn, Who condescended to be born! 4 See him below his Angels made; See him in Dust amongst the Dead, To save a ruin'd World from Sin; But he shall reign with Pow'r divine. 5 The World to come, redeem'd from all The Mis'ries that attend the fall, New made, and glorious, shall submit At our exalted Saviour's Feet. Scripture: Psalm 8:3-9
