Father, Oh, what boundless glory

Father, Oh, what boundless glory

Published in 1 hymnal


Representative Text

1 Father, Oh, what boundless glory
In Thy name of love we know,
No more sweet, more wondrous story,
Than Thy heart revealed below.

2 Thou whose blessed name is Holy--
Majesty supreme is Thine;
Yet in One so meek and lowly
We behold Thy brightnes shine!

3 He in whom Thy heart delighted,
Sent to earth, to grief and shame:
Here, were all before had slighted,
He alone declared Thy Name.

4 'Mid the darkness, Light resplendent,
Purest, gletlest Stranger, He;
While the world, in bitter ferment,
hated both Himself and Thee.

5 Then the cup, from Thy hand gven,
E'en to Thy beloved Son!
Perfume sweet ascends to heaven:
His most glorious work is done.

6 Blessed, beauteous contemplation--
Theme more full than all beside--
Cause of deepest adoration--
Thou, through Christ, art glorified!
