Hymnal: The Book of Worship #249 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Great God! with wonder and with praise
On all Thy works I look;
But still Thy wisdom, power, and grace
Shine brighter in Thy book.
2 The stars, which in their courses roll
Have much instruction given;
But Thy good word informs my soul
How I may soar to heaven.
3 The fields provide me food, and show
The goodness of the Lord;
But fruits of life and glory grow
In Thy most holy word.
4 Here are my choicest treasures hid,
Here my best comfort lies,
Here my desires are satisfied,
And hence my hopes arise.
5 Lord, make me understand Thy law:
Show what my faults have been;
And from Thy Gospel let me draw
Pardon for all my sin.
6 Here would I learn how Christ has died,
To save my soul from hell;
Not all the books on earth beside
Such heavenly wonders tell.
7 Then let me love my Bible more;
And take a fresh delight,
By day to read these wonders o’er,
And meditate by night. Topics: The Scriptures Languages: English
