A Selection of Psalms and Hymns ‎#CCCXXIX

CCCXXIX. The Pardoning God

1 Great God of wonders all thy ways,
Are matchless, Godlike, and divine;
But thy fair glories of thy grace,
More Godlike and unrival'd shine,
Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?

2 Crimes of such horror to forgive,
Such guilty daring worms to spare,
This is thy grand prerogative,
And none shall in the honour share.
Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?

3 Angels and men, resign your claim,
To pity, mercy, love, and grace;
These glories crown Jehovah's name,
With an incomparable blaze.
Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?

4 In wonder lost with trembling joy,
We take the pardon of our God,
Pardon for crimes of deepest dye,
A pardon bought with Jesus' blood.
Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?

5 O may this strange, this matchless grace,
This God like miracle of love,
Fill the wide earth with grateful praise,
And all the Angelic Hosts above,
Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
