Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Great God! to me the sight afford
To him of old allowed;
And let my faith behold its Lord
Descending in a cloud.
2. In that revealing Spirit come down,
Thine attributes proclaim,
And to my inmost soul make known
The glories of Thy name.
3. Jehovah, Christ, I Thee adore,
Who gav’st my soul to be!
Fountain of being, and of power,
And great in majesty.
4. The Lord, the mighty God, Thou art;
But let me rather prove
That name in-spoken to my heart,
That favorite name of Love.
5. Merciful God, Thyself proclaim
In this polluted breast;
Mercy is Thy distinguished name,
Which suits a sinner best.
6. Our misery doth for pity call,
Our sin implores Thy grace;
And Thou art merciful to all
Our lost, apostate race. Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL Text Sources: Short Hymns, 1762, cento
