God glorious, and Sinners saved

Author: Dr. Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 311 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 44:23 First Line: Father, how wide thy glory shines Lyrics: 1 Father, how wide thy glory shines! How high thy wonders rise! Known thro' the earth by thousand signs, By thousand thro' the skies. 2 [Part of thy name divinely stands On all thy creatures writ, They shew the labour of thy hands, Or impress of thy feet.] 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 reverend awe; We love and we adore; The first arch-angel 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 [When sinners broke the Father's laws, The dying Son atones; O, the dear mysteries of his cross! The triumph of his groans!] 7 Now the full glories of the Lamb Adorn the heavenly plains; Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel's name, And try their choicest strains. 8 O may I bear some humble part In that immortal song! Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue.
