Father, How Wide Thy Glory Shines

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #24 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father, how wide Thy glories shines. How high Thy wonders rise! Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousands through the skies. 2 Those mighty orbs proclaim Thy power; Their motions speak Thy skill: And on the wings of every hour We read Thy patience still. 3 But when we view Thy strange design To save rebellious worms, Where vengeance and compassion join In their divinest forms: 4 Our thoughts are lost in reverent awe; We love and we adore; The first archangel never saw So much of God before. 5 Here the whole Deity is known, Nor dares a creature guess Which of the glories brightest shone, The justice or the grace. 6 Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heavenly plains; Bright cherubs learn Immanuel’s name And try their choicest strains. 7 O may I bear some humble part In that immortal song! Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue. AMEN. Topics: Adoration and Praise Languages: English Tune Title: BEATITUDO
