My God, how wonderful Thou art

C.M. 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 year, O everlasting Lord, By porstrate spirits day and night Incessantly adored! 3 How wondeful, 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 7 Father of Jesus,love's reward, What rapture will it be Prostrate before Thy throne to lie, And gaze, and gaze on Thee F.W.
