GOD
Appears
most
Glorious
IN
OUR
Salvation
by
CHRIST
.
I.
FAther
,
how
wide
thy
Glory
shines
!
How
high
thy
Wonders
rise
!
Known
thro'
the
Earth
by
thousand
Signs
,
By
thousand
thro'
the
Skies
.
II
.
Those
mighty
Orbs
proclaim
thy
Power
,
Their
Motions
speak
thy
Skill
;
And
on
the
Wings
of
every
Hour
We
read
thy
Patience
still
.
III
.
Part
of
thy
Name
Divinely
stands
On
all
thy
Creatures
writ
;
They
show
the
Labour
of
thine
Hands
,
Or
Impress
of
thy
Feet
.
IV
.
But
when
We
view
thy
Strange
Design
To
save
Rebellious
Worms
,
Where
Vengeance
and
Compassion
joyn
In
their
Divinest
Forms
:
V.
Our
Thoughts
are
lost
in
Reverend
Awe
,
We
Love
and
we
Adore
;
The
tallest
Angel
never
saw
So
much
of
God
before
.
VI
.
Here
the
whole
Deity
is
known
,
Nor
dares
a
Creature
guess
Which
of
the
Glories
brightest
shone
,
The
Justice
or
the
Grace
.
VII
.
When
we
transgress'd
the
Fathers
Laws
,
The
dying
Son
atones
;
Oh
the
Dear
Mysteries
of
his
Cross
!
The
Triumph
of
his
Groans
!
VIII
.
Now
the
full
Glories
of
the
Lamb
Adorn
the
Heavenly
Plains
;
And
the
Young
Cherubs
learn
his
Name
,
And
try
their
choicest
Strains
.
IX
.
O
may
I
bear
some
humble
Part
In
that
Immortal
Song
;
Wonder
and
Joy
shall
tune
my
Heart
,
And
Love
command
my
Tongue
.
