O My God, I Fear Thee!

O my God

I fear Thee!

Thou art ve­ry high

Yet to us

Thy child­ren

Thou art al­ways nigh

Far re­moved from mor­tal sight

Dwelling in eter­nal light.

O my God

I fear Thee!

Yet I come in pray­er

For my Sav­ior tells me

I need not des­pair;

Tells me of a Fa­ther’s love

And a home pre­pared ab­ove.

Never earth­ly fa­ther

Loveth like to Thee;

Thou dost guide and par­don

Guilty ones like me;

Sending down Thy ho­ly Son

That all sin­ners might be won.

O my God

I fear Thee!

Holy

just

and true;

But

my heav­en­ly Fa­ther

I will love Thee

too;

Guide me till this life be past

Take me to Thy­self at last.
