Father, How Wide Thy Glory Shines
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #24 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father, how wide Thy glories shines.
How high Thy wonders rise!
Known through the earth by thousand signs,
By thousands 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,
Where vengeance and compassion join
In their divinest forms:
4 Our thoughts are lost in reverent awe;
We love and we adore;
The first archangel never saw
So much of God before.
5 Here the whole Deity is known,
Nor dares a creature guess
Which of the glories brightest shone,
The justice or the grace.
6 Now the full glories of the Lamb
Adorn the heavenly plains;
Bright cherubs learn Immanuel’s name
And try their choicest strains.
7 O may I bear some humble part
In that immortal song!
Wonder and joy shall tune my heart,
And love command my tongue.
