5170. O My God, I Fear Thee!

1. O my God, I fear Thee! Thou art very high,
Yet to us, Thy children, Thou art always nigh,
Far removed from mortal sight,
Dwelling in eternal light.

2. O my God, I fear Thee! Yet I come in prayer,
For my Savior tells me I need not despair;
Tells me of a Father’s love,
And a home prepared above.

3. Never earthly father Loveth like to Thee;
Thou dost guide and pardon Guilty ones like me;
Sending down Thy holy Son
That all sinners might be won.

4. O my God, I fear Thee! Holy, just, and true;
But, my heavenly Father, I will love Thee, too;
Guide me till this life be past,
Take me to Thyself at last.
