Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: Laudes Domini #124 (1890) First Line: My God, how wonderful Thou art Lyrics: 1 My God, how wonderful thou art,
Thy majesty how bright!
How glorious is 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 Oh, how I fear thee, living God,
With deepest, tenderest fears,
And worship thee with trembling hope,
And penitential tears.
4 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.
5 No earthly father loves like thee,
No mother half so mild
Bears and forbears, as thou hast done
With me, thy sinful child.
6 My God, how wonderful thou art,
Thou everlasting Friend!
On thee I stay my trusting heart,
Till faith in vision end.
