O God, Thy Power Is Wonderful

O God

Thy pow­er is won­der­ful

Thy glo­ry pass­ing bright;

Thy wis­dom

with its deep on deep

A rap­ture to the sight.

I see Thee in the eter­nal years

In glo­ry all alone

Ere round Thine un­cre­at­ed fires

Created light had shone.

I see Thee walk in Ed­en’s shade

I see Thee all through time;

Thy pa­tience and com­pass­ion seem

New at­trib­utes sub­lime.

I see Thee when the doom is o’er

And out­worn time is done

Still

still in­com­pre­hen­si­ble

O God

yet not alone.

Angelic spir­its

count­less souls

Of Thee have drunk their fill;

And to eter­ni­ty will drink

Thy joy and glo­ry still.

O lit­tle heart of mine! shall pain

Or sor­row make thee moan

When all this God is all for thee

A Fa­ther all thine own?
