  1. 1Father, how wide Thy glory shines!
  2. How high Thy wonders rise!
  3. Known through the earth by thousand signs,
  4. By thousands through the skies.
  5. 2Those mighty orbs proclaim Thy power,
  6. Their motions speak Thy skill,
  7. And on the wings of every hour
  8. We read Thy patience still.
  9. 3When sinners break the Father's low,
  10. The dying Son atones;
  11. Oh! the dear mysteries of His cross!
  12. The triumph of His groans!
  13. 4Now the full glories of the Lamb
  14. Adorn the heavenly plains;
  15. Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel's name,
  16. And try their choicest strains.
  17. 5Oh, may I bear some humble part
  18. In that immortal song!
  19. Wonder and joy shall tune my heart,
  20. And love command my tongue.
  21. 6Amen.
