WHERE SHALL OUR WONDERING SOULS BEGIN?
1. Where shall our
wond'ring souls begin?
How shall we all to
heav'n aspire?
As slaves redeemed
from death and sin,
As brands plucked
from eternal fire,
How shall we suited
triumphs raise,
Or sing our great
Deliv'rer's praise?
2. Oh how shall we
the goodness tell,
Father, which Thou
to us hast showed,
Children of wrath,
and doomed to hell.
But children now
redeemed to God?
On earth we know
our sins forgiven,
Blest with this antepast
of heaven.
3. Our hearts are
full of Christ, and long
Their glorious
matter to declare;
Of Him we make our
loftier song,
We cannot from His
praise forbear;
Our ready tongues
make haste to sing
The glories of the
heavenly King.
4. Fairer than all the
earth-born race,
Perfect in
comeliness Thou art,
Replenished are Thy
lips with grace,
And full of love
Thy tender heart.
God ever blest; we
bow the knee,
And own all
fullness dwells in Thee.
