God glorious, and Sinners saved

Author: Dr. Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 311 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 44:23 First Line: Father, how wide thy glory shines Lyrics: 1 Father, how wide thy glory shines! How high thy wonders rise! Known thro' the earth by thousand signs, By thousand thro' the skies. 2 [Part of thy name divinely stands On all thy creatures writ, They shew the labour of thy hands, Or impress of thy feet.] 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 reverend awe; We love and we adore; The first arch-angel 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 [When sinners broke the Father's laws, The dying Son atones; O, the dear mysteries of his cross! The triumph of his groans!] 7 Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heavenly plains; Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel's name, And try their choicest strains. 8 O may I bear some humble part In that immortal song! Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue.

Maker of all above--below, Eternal--self-existent One! How blest are we thy name to know! 5 One God--enlightened faith adores; One God--harmonious nature cries; One God--our common Sire and Lord, The brotherhood of mind replies. 6 To thee--Supreme!--to thee alone, Be hymns of highest glory sung; The source of joy to every hear, The theme of praise to every tongue.

Gladly my inmost heart would know The love that now it faintly traces, And see the streams from Zion flow O'er all its waste and desert places. And still I hope — O not in vain! I know, this ho]y seed possessing, Thou wilt come down like gentle rain, And make the barren ground a blessing.
