How Shall I My Savior Set Forth?

lyricist: James Maxwell (1720–1800)
Composer: John McGarvey (1829–1911)

How shall I my Sav­ior set forth?

How shall I His beau­ties de­clare?

Or how shall I speak of His worth

Or what His chief dig­ni­ties are?

O won­der­ful love! O won­der­ful love!

O won­der­ful

won­der­ful love

My Sav­ior showed to me.

Tho’ once He was nailed to the cross

Vile re­bels like me to set free

His glo­ry sus­tain­èd no loss

Eternal His king­dom shall be.

O sin­ners! be­lieve and ad­ore

This Sav­ior

so rich to re­deem;

No crea­ture can ev­er ex­plore

The trea­sure of good­ness in Him.

Come

all ye who see your­selves lost

And feel your­selves bur­dened with sin

Draw near while with ter­ror you’re toss­èd

Obey

and your peace shall be­gin.
