372. How Wondrous and Great Thy Works, God of Praise!

1 How wondrous and great Thy works, God of praise!
How just, King of saints, and true are Thy ways!
O who shall not fear Thee, and honor Thy Name?
Thou only art holy, Thou only supreme.

2 To nations long dark Thy light shall be shown;
Their worship and vows shall come to Thy throne:
Thy truth and Thy judgments shall spread all abroad,
Till earth’s every people confess Thee their God.

Amen.
