MY GOD, HOW WONDERFUL THOU ART
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 prostrate
spirits day and night,
Incessantly adored!
3. O how I fear
Thee, living God,
With deepest,
tend'rest fears,
And worship Thee
with trembling hope,
And penitential
tears!
4. Yet I may love
Thee too, O Lord,
Almighty as Thou
art,
For Thou has
stooped to ask of me
The love of my poor
heart!
5. No earthly
father loves like Thee,
No mother, e'er so
mild,
Bears and forbears
as Thou hast done
With me, Thy sinful
child.
6. How wonderful,
how beautiful,
The sight of Thee
must be,
Thine endless
wisdom, boundless pow'r
And awful purity!
