Great God of wonders! All Thy ways
Are matchless, Godlike and divine;
But the fair glories of Thy grace
|:More Godlike and unrivaled shine.
:|
Crimes of such horror to forgive,
Such guilty, daring worms to spare;
This is Thy grand prerogative,
|:And none shall in the honor share
:|
Angels and men, resign your claim
To pity, mercy, love and grace:
These glories crown
Jehovah’s Name
|:With an incomparable glaze.
:|
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.:|
O may this strange,
this matchless grace,
This Godlike miracle of love,
Fill the whole earth
with grateful praise,
|:And all th’angelic choirs above:|
Who is a pardoning God like Thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
