Author: Faber Hymnal: VoP1873 #20 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My God, how wonderful thou art,
Thy majesty how bright!
How beautiful thy mercy-seat,
In depths of burning light!
2 How dread are thine eternal years,
O everlasting Lord;
By prostate spirits day and night
Incessantly adored.
3 How wonderful, how beautiful,
The sight of thee must be,--
Thine endless wisdom, boundless power,
And awful purity.
4 Oh how I fear thee, living God,
With deepest, tenderest fears,
And worship thee with trembling hope,
And penitential tears.
5 Yet I may love thee, too, O Lord,
Almighty as thou art;
For thou hast stooped to ask of me
The love of my poor heart.
6 No earthly father loves like thee;
No mother, e'er so mild,
Bears and forbears as thou hast done
With me, thy sinful child.
