HYMN OF ADORATION

December 3.    2 Corinthians ch 8-10 

HYMN OF ADORATION 

1 My God, how wonderful thou art,

Thy majesty how bright,

How beautiful thy mercy-seat,

In depths of burning light!

2 How dread are thine eternal years,

O everlasting Lord,

By prostrate spirits day and night

Incessantly adored!

3 How wonderful, how beautiful,

The sight of thee must be,

Thine endless wisdom, boundless power,

And aweful purity!

4 O, how I fear thee, living God,

With deepest, tenderest fears,

And worship thee with trembling hope,

And penitential tears!

5 Yet I may love thee too, O Lord,

Almighty as thou art,

For thou hast stooped to ask of me

The love of my poor heart.

6 No earthly father loves like thee,

No mother, e'er so mild,

Bears and forbears as thou hast done

With me thy sinful child.

7 Father of Jesus, love's reward,

What rapture will it be

Prostrate before thy throne to lie,

And gaze and gaze on thee.

PRAY: Dear Lord I love You. Help me to love You more.
