My God, how wonderful Thou art,
Thy Majesty how bright!
How beautiful Thy mercy-seat,
In depths of burning light!
How wonderful, how beautiful
The sight of Thee must be,
Thine endless wisdom, boundless power,
And awful purity!
O how I fear Thee, living God,
With deepest, tenderest fears,
And worship Thee with trembling hope,
And penitential tears.
Yet I may love Thee too, O Lord,
Almighty as Thou art,
For Thou has stopped to ask of me
The love of my poor heart.
F. W. Faber, 1814-63
Beautiful!
