WE wonder at the works of God Displayed through all the world abroad, Immensely great, minutely small, Yet one strange work exceeds them all. |
|||
2 | Almighty God breathed human breath! The Lord of life experienced death! Suffering the pains of hell for those Who should have perished as His foes! |
||
3 | The highest heavens fall short of this! ’Tis deeper than the vast abyss! ’Tis more than thought could e’er conceive, Or hope expect, or flesh believe. |
||
4 | Blessed with this knowledge let us raise Our hearts in love, our voice in praise; Now we believe, but soon shall know The greatest glories God can show. |

Joseph Hart, 1712-68 |
