My God, How Wonderful Thou Art
Author: Frederick W. Faber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 344 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 66:13 Lyrics: 1 My God, how wonderful thou art,
thy majesty, how bright,
how beautiful thy mercy seat
in depths of burning light!
How dread are thine eternal years,
O everlasting Lord:
by prostrate spirits day and night
incessantly adored!
2 How wonderful, how beautiful,
the sight of thee must be,
thine endless wisdom, boundless power,
and awesome purity!
O how I fear thee, living God,
with deepest, tenderest fears,
and worship thee with trembling hope
and penitential tears!
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.
No earthly father loves like thee;
no mother, e’er so mild,
bears and forbears as thou hast done
with me, thy sinful child.
4 My God, how wonderful thou art,
thy majesty, how bright,
how beautiful thy mercy seat
in depths of burning light!
Father of Jesus, Love divine,
great King upon thy throne,
what joy to see thee as thou art,
and worship thee alone!

speak ye peace: thus saith our God.
Comfort those who sit in darkness
bowed beneath oppression's load;
speak ye to Jerusalem
of the peace that waits for them:
tell her that her sins I cover,
and her warfare now is over.
2 Hark! The herald's voice is calling
in the desert far and near,
calling us to new repentance
since the reign of God is here.
Oh, that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for Christ a way;
let the valleys rise to meet him,
and the hills bow down to greet him.
3 Make ye straight what long was crooked;
make the rougher places plain.
Let your hearts be true and humble
as befits Messiah's reign.
For the glory of the Lord
now o'er earth is shed abroad,
and all flesh shall see the token
that God's Word is never broken. Topics: Advent; John, the Baptist Used With Tune: PSALM 42

Oh, that I could repent! Oh, that I could believe!
Author: C. Wesley Appears in 87 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 66:2 Lyrics: 1 Oh, that I could repent!
Oh, that I could believe!
Thou, by thy voice, the marble rent,
The rock in sunder cleave!
Thou, by thy two-edge sword,
My soul and spirit part;
Strike with the hammer of thy word,
And break my stubborn heart.
2 Saviour, and Prince of peace,
The double grace bestow,
Unloose the bands of wickedness,
And let the captive go;
Grant me my sins to feel,
And then the load remove;
Wound, and pour in my wounds, to heal,
The balm of pardoning love.
3 For thine own mercy's sake,
The hindrance now remove,
And into thy protection take
The prisoner of thy love;
In every trying hour
Stand by my feeble soul,
And screen me from my nature's power,
Till thou hast made me whole.
4 This is thy will, I know,
That I should holy be,
Should let my sins this moment go,
This moment turn to thee:
Oh, might I now embrace
Thine all-sufficient power,
And nevermore to sin give place,
And never grieve thee more.

What is the thing of greatest price
Author: Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 87 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 66:2 Lyrics: 1 What is the thing of greatest price,
The whole creation round?--
That which was lost in Paradise,
That which in Christ is found.
2 The soul of man--Jehovah's breath--
That keeps two worlds at strife;
Hell moves beneath to work its death,
Heaven stoops to give it life.
3 And is this treasure borne below,
In earthen vessels frail?
Can non its utmost value know,
'Till flesh and spirit fail?
4 Then let us gather round the cross,
That knowledge to obtain;
Not by the soul's eternal loss,
But everlasting gain.
