Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #113 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Psalm 8:1 Lyrics: 1 FATHER, how wide thy glory shines! 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 read thy strange design To save rebellious worms, Where justice and compassion join In their divinest forms-- 4 Here the whole Deity is known; Nor dares a creature guess Which of the glories brightest shone, The justice or the grace. 5 Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heavenly plains; Bright cherubs chant Immanuel's name, And try their choicest strains. 6 Oh may I bear some humble part In that immortal song; Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue.
