Methodist-Hymns-073
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 beautiful, how beautiful,
The sight of Thee must be,
Thine endless wisdom, boundless power,
And awful purity!
4: O how I fear Thee, living God,
With deepest, tendest 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 is reward,
what rapture will it be
Prostrate before Thy throne to lie,
And gaze, and gaze on Thee.
