EN 615 Father, How Wide Thy Glories Shine
Ps.19.1
Versi Version 1
1
Father, how wide Thy glories shine!
How high Thy wonders rise!
Known through the earth by thousand signs,
By thousand through the skies.
2
Those mighty orbs proclaim Thy power,
Their motions speak Thy skill,
And on the wings of every hour
We read Thy patience still.
3
But when we view Thy strange design
To save rebellious worms,
Our souls are filled with awe divine
To see what God performs.
4
Our thoughts are lost in reverent awe;
We love and we adore;
The first archangel never saw
So much of God before.
5
Part of Thy Name divinely stands
On all Thy creatures writ;
They show the labor of Thy hands,
Or impress of Thy feet.
6
When sinners break the Father’s laws,
The dying Son atones;
O the dear mysteries of His cross,
The triumph of his groans.
7
Here the whole Deity is known,
Nor dares a creature guess
Which of the glories brightest shone,
The justice, or the grace.
8
Now the full glories of the Lamb
Adorn the heavenly plains;
Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel’s Name,
And try their choicest strains.
9
O may I bear some humble part
In that immortal song!
Wonder and joy shall tune my heart,
And love command my tongue.
