My God, how wonderful

- My God, how wonderful Thou art,
- Thy majesty how bright!
- How beautiful Thy mercy-seat,
- In depths of burning light!
- How dread are Thine eternal years,
- O everlasting Lord,
- By prostrate spirits day and night
- Incessantly adored!
- How wonderful, how beautiful
- The sight of Thee must be,
- Thine endless wisdom, boundless power,
- And awesome purity!
- O how I fear Thee, living God,
- With deepest, tenderest fears,
- And worship Thee with trembling hope
- And penitential tears!
- 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.
- No earthly father loves like Thee;
- No mother e'er so mild
- Bears and forbears as Thou hast done
- With me, Thy sinful child.
- Father of Jesus, love's reward,
- What rapture will it be
- Prostrate before Thy throne to lie,
- And gaze, and gaze on Thee.
