Father, How Wide Thy Glories Shine (EN 615)

EN 615 Father, How Wide Thy Glories Shine

Ps.19.1

Versi Version 1

1

Father, how wide Thy glories shine!

How high Thy wonders rise!

Known through the earth by thousand signs,

By thousand through the skies.

2

Those mighty orbs proclaim Thy power,

Their motions speak Thy skill,

And on the wings of every hour

We read Thy patience still.

3

But when we view Thy strange design

To save rebellious worms,

Our souls are filled with awe divine

To see what God performs.

4

Our thoughts are lost in reverent awe;

We love and we adore;

The first archangel never saw

So much of God before.

5

Part of Thy Name divinely stands

On all Thy creatures writ;

They show the labor of Thy hands,

Or impress of Thy feet.

6

When sinners break the Father’s laws,

The dying Son atones;

O the dear mysteries of His cross,

The triumph of his groans.

7

Here the whole Deity is known,

Nor dares a creature guess

Which of the glories brightest shone,

The justice, or the grace.

8

Now the full glories of the Lamb

Adorn the heavenly plains;

Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel’s Name,

And try their choicest strains.

9

O may I bear some humble part

In that immortal song!

Wonder and joy shall tune my heart,

And love command my tongue.
