Wonderful

Author: James Relly Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Wonderful thy name we call Lyrics: 1 Wonderful thy name we call, And wonderful thou art! We, in spirit, prostrate fall, And hail thy wounded heart! Thou hast us redeem'd to God, From ev'ry nation, kindred, tongue; Thou hast wash'd us in thy blood, And taught us the new song. 2 Jesus only is the Lord, He only holy is; Jesus is by us ador'd, He is our perfect bliss; We in him, and he in us, Thro' all his wounds, and death, and blood, In one body on the cross Were perfected to God. 3 Thou, O Christ, in Zion prais'd, Whom we our Saviour call, In the Godhead's glory rais'd Above the heavens all: Thee we hail, thou Prince of heav'n! 'Tis thee we hail, thou faithful heart! Thou thyself to us hast giv'n; All hail our better part! 4 Worthy is the holy Lamb, Pre-eminence is giv'n! Greatly glorious is his name, Above the highest heav'n! Yet he names on us his Name, And boldly owns the brotherhood, Calls us brethren without shame, And us presents to God. Scripture: Isaiah 9:6

Appears in 98 hymnals First Line: Wherewith O Lord, shall I draw near Lyrics: 1 Wherewith, O Lord, shall I draw near, Or bow myself before thy face? How in thy purer eyes appear? What shall I bring to gain thy grace? 2 Will gifts delight the Lord most High? Will multiply'd oblations please? Thousands of rams his favor buy, Or slaughter'd hecatombs appease? 3 Can these assuage the wrath of God? Can these wash out my guilty stain? Rives of oil, or seas of blood, Alas! they all must flow in vain. 4 What have I then wherein to trust? I nothing have, I nothing am; Excluded is my ev'ry boast, My glory swallow'd up in shame. 5 Guilty, I stand before thy face; My sole desert, is hell and wrath; 'Twere just the sentence should take place, But O, I plead my Saviour's death! 6 I plead the merits of thy Son Who di'd for sinners on the tree; I plead his righteousness alone, O put the spotless robe on me.
