<p>My God, how wonderful Thou art,<br>
Thy majesty, how bright;<br>
How beautiful Thy mercy seat<br>
In depths of burning light!</p>
<p>How dread are Thy eternal years,<br>
O everlasting Lord,<br>
By prostrate spirits day and night<br>
Incessantly adored!</p>
<p>How wonderful, how beautiful,<br>
The sight of Thee must be;<br>
Thy endless wisdom, boundless power,<br>
And glorious purity!</p>
<p>O how I fear Thee, living God,<br>
With deep and tender fear;<br>
And worship Thee with trembling hope,<br>
And penitential tears!</p>
<p>Yet, I may love Thee, too, O Lord,<br>
Almighty as Thou art;<br>
For Thou hast stooped to ask of me<br>
The love of my poor heart!</p>
<p>No earthly father loves like Thee,<br>
No mother, e&#8217;er so mild,<br>
Bears and forbears as Thou hast done,<br>
With me, Thy sinful child.</p>
<p>Father of Jesus, love&#8217;s Reward!<br>
What rapture it will be<br>
Prostrate before Thy throne to lie,<br>
And gaze, and gaze on Thee!</p>
