God glorious in the salvation of sinners. 1 FATHER, how wide thy glory 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, And on the wings of every hour 3 But when we view thy vast design Where vengeance and compassion join 4 Our thoughts are lost in reverend awe; So much of God before. 5 Now the full glories of the Lamb Bright seraphs learn Immanuel's name, 6 O may I bear some humble part In their immortal song! 1 2 3 5 1 Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, HYMN 136. c.

The gladly solemn sound Let all the nations know, To earth's remotest bound: The sin-atoning Lamb; Redemption by his blood Through all the world proclaim: The year, &c. 3 Ye, who have sold for nought Your heritage above, Shall have it back unbought, And blest in Jesus live: 5 The gospel-trumpet hear, The news of pardoning grace; Hath full atonement made; Ye weary spirits, rest; The year, &c. The year, &c. The year, Ye mourning souls, be glad: The year, &c. |
