Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #352 (1828) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Great God of wonders! all thy ways
Are matchless, godlike, and divine;
But thy fair glories of thy grace,
More godlike and unrivall'd shine:
Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
2 Crimes of such horror to forgive,
Such guilty daring worms to spare;
This is thy grand prerogative,
And none shall in the honour share:
Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
3 Angels and men resign their claim
To pity, mercy, love, and grace,
These glories crown Jehovah's name
With an incomparable blaze:
Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
4 In wonder lost, with trembling joy,
We take the pardon of our God,
Pardon for crimes of deepest dye;
A pardon seal'd with Jesus' blood:
Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
5 O may this strange, this matchless grace,
This godlike miracle of love,
Teach mortal tongues, like those above,
Fill the wide earth with grateful praise,
Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free? Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love; The pardoning God Scripture: Micah 7:18
