Wondrous Work of God

Author: Edna Randolph Worrell Hymnal: Jubilate #173 (1917) First Line: O the world to me in its beauty Refrain First Line: Earth, sea and sky Lyrics: 1 O the world to me in its beauty Is a glorious place most rare; Where I seek and find the Master’s mind In nature’s imprint fair; ‘Tis wondrous! ‘Tis wondrous! ‘Tis a work beyond compare! Refrain: Earth, sea and sky, Tell creation’s olden story; Lived again in souls of men Who grow in grace. Sun, moon, and stars, Speak of God in all His glory, Showing thus in part to us His shining face. 2 O the world to me in its beauty Shows us life in depth and height, And it tells the soul to seek its goad In heav’nly realms of light; ‘Tis wondrous! ‘Tis wondrous! Let us read its message bright. [Refrain] 3 O the world to me in its beauty Is a vision always new, And a wealth of love from God above Reveals its message true; ‘Tis wondrous! ‘Tis wondrous! How sublime His work to view! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O the world to me in its beauty]
