Your majesty how bright;
how beautiful Your mercy seat
in depths of burning light!
2 How awesome Your eternal years,
O everlasting Lord,
by angel spirits day and night
incessantly adored!
3 O how I fear You, living God,
with deepest, tenderest fears,
and worship You with trembling hope
and penitential tears!
4 Yet I may love You, too, O Lord,
almighty King of kings,
for You have stooped to ask of me
the love my poor heart brings.
5 No earthly father loves like You,
no mother, e'er so mild,
is patient, Lord, as You have been
with me Your sinful child.
6 How beautiful, how beautiful
the sight of You must be,
Your endless wisdom, boundless power,
and awesome purity! Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER Text Sources: Alt.: Compilers
