My Father God, when on Thy vast creation

My Father God

when on Thy vast creation

The wonders of the heav’n and earth

I gaze

Things great and small

beyond enumeration

Which manifest Thy pow’r in untold ways;

Then all my being sings in praise to Thee

How marvellous! How great Thou art!

And this I’ll sing through all eternity

How marvellous! How great Thou art!

As I enjoy the grace of Thy salvation

And contemplate how Thou Thy Son hast sent

Who died that we might be Thy new creation

Thy life expressing to the full extent;

When in the church

in blest participation

I see how millions Thine own life possess

How they are built to form Thy habitation

Containing Thee

Thy fulness to express;

As I expect the coming age of fulness

And hope to share the new Jerusalem

With all the heavens and the earth in newness

And all Thou art expressed in all of them;
