The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#79

79. My God, how wonderful thou art!

1 My God, how wonderful thou art!
Thy majesty how bright!
How beautiful thy mercy-seat,
In depth of burning light!

2 How dread are thine eternal years,
O everlasting Lord!
By prostrate angels 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, tenderest 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.
