What Am I, O Thou Glorious God!

What am I

O Thou glo­ri­ous God!

And what my fa­ther’s house to Thee

That Thou such mer­cies hast be­stowed

On me

the chief of sin­ners

me!

I take the bless­ing from ab­ove

And won­der at Thy bound­less love.

Me in my blood Thy love passed by

And stopped

my ru­in to re­trieve;

Wept o’er my soul Thy pi­ty­ing eye

Thy bow­els yearned

and sound­ed Live!

Dying

I heard the wel­come sound

And par­don in Thy mer­cy found.

Honor

and might

and thanks

and praise

I render to my par­don­ing God

Extol the rich­es of Thy grace

And spread Thy sav­ing name abroad

That only name to sin­ners giv’n

Which lifts poor dy­ing worms to Heav’n.

Jesus

I bless Thy gra­cious pow­er

And all with­in me shouts Thy name;

Thy name let ev­ery soul ad­ore

Thy power let ev­ery tongue pro­claim;

Thy grace let ev­ery sin­ner know

And find with me their heav­en be­low.
