1. My God, how wonderful thou art, thy majesty, how bright
My God, how wonderful thou art, thy majesty, how bright! How beautiful thy mercy seat in depths of burning light!
[Sing to the Lord 168]

2. with deepest, tend’rest fears, and worship thee with trembling hope
2. O how I fear thee, living God,
with deepest, tend’rest fears,
and worship thee with trembling hope
and penitential tears!

3. for thou hast stooped to ask of me the love of my poor heart.
3. Yet I may love thee too, O Lord,
almighty as thou art;
for thou hast stooped to ask of me
the love of my poor heart.

4. bears and forbears as thou hast done with me, thy sinful child.
4. No earthly father loves like thee,
no mother, half so mild,
bears and forbears as thou hast done
with me, thy sinful child.
