Author: F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: Common Praise #523 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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 How wonderful, how beautiful,
the sight of thee must be,
thine endless wisdom, boundless power,
and aweful purity!
4 O 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! Topics: Lent II Year B; Proper 11 Year C Scripture: Exodus 25:22 Languages: English Tune Title: WESTMINSTER
