It is a thing most wonderful
Author: Bp. W. Walsham How Hymnal: Mirfield Mission Hymn Book #55 (1948) Languages: English Tune Title: HERONGATE
It is a thing most wonderful
It is a thing most wonderful
Author: W. Walsham How, 1823-97 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #84 (1986) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 It is a thing most wonderful,
Almost too wonderful to be,
That God’s own Son should come from heaven,
And die to save a child like me.
2 And yet I know that it is true:
He chose a poor and humble lot,
And wept, and toiled, and mourned, and died
For love of those who loved him not.
3 But even could I see him die,
I could but see a little part
Of that great love, which, like a fire,
Is always burning in his heart.
4 It is most wonderful to know
His love for me so free and sure;
But ’tis more wonderful to see
My love for him so faint and poor.
5 And yet I want to love thee, Lord;
O light the flame within my heart,
And I will love thee more and more,
Until I see thee as thou art. Topics: The Christian Year Passiontide Languages: English Tune Title: HERONGATE

It is a thing most wonderful
Unless the LORD the House Shall Build
Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns to the Living God #127 (2023) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Unless the LORD the house shall build,
the weary builders toil in vain;
unless the LORD the city shield,
the guards a useless watch maintain.
2 In vain you rise ere morning break,
and late your nightly vigils keep,
and of the bread of toil partake;
God gives to His beloved sleep.
3 Lo, children are a great reward,
a gift from GOD in very truth;
with arrows in his quiver stored
who joys in children of his youth.
4 And blest the man whose age is cheered
by stalwart sons and daughters fair;
no enemies by him are feared,
no lack of love, no want of care. Topics: Instruction Scripture: Psalm 127 Languages: English Tune Title: HERONGATE

It is a thing most wonderful
Author: William Walsham How (1823-1867) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #145 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 It is a thing most wonderful,
almost too wonderful to be,
that God's own Son should come from heaven,
and die to save a child like me.
2 And yet I know that it is true:
he chose a poor and humble lot,
and wept and toiled and mourned and died
for love of those who loved him not.
3 I cannot tell how he could love
a child so weak and full of sin;
his love must be most wonderful,
if he could die my love to win.
4 I sometimes think about the cross,
and shut my eyes, and try to see
the cruel nails and crown of thorns,
and Jesus crucified for me.
5 But even could I see him die,
I could but see a little part
of that great love which, like a fire,
is always burning in his heart.
6 It is most wonderful to know
his love for me so free and sure;
but 'tis more wonderful to see
my love for him so faint and poor.
7 And yet I want to love thee, Lord;
O light the flame within my heart,
and I will love thee more and more,
until I see thee as thou art. Topics: Church year Passiontide; Church Year Good Friday; Dévotion; God Love of; Jesus Life and Ministry; Passiontide Scripture: John 3:16 Languages: English Tune Title: HERONGATE
