Author: Dr. F. W. Faber, 1814-1863 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #49 (1917) Lyrics: 1. My God, how wonderful Thou art,
Thy majesty how bright,
How glorious Thy mercy-seat
In depths of burning light!
2. How dread are Thine eternal years,
O everlasting Lord,
By prostrate spirits day and night
Incessantly adored!
3. O how I fear Thee, living God,
With deepest, tenderest fears,
And worship Thee with trembling hope,
And penitential tears!
4. 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.
5. No earthly father loves like Thee,
No mother, e'er so mild,
Bears and forbears, as Thou hast done
With me, Thy wayward child.
6. Father of Jesus, love's reward,
What rapture will it be,
Prostrate before Thy throne to lie,
And ever gaze on Thee!
