Hymn 17  

SUBJECT: WORSHIP OF THE FATHER—HIS GREATNESS
METER: 11.10.11.10. with chorus.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: Swedish Folk Melody, arranged by Mrs. Paul Friedmann

1My 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;
Chorus  
  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!
2As 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;
3When 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;
4As 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;
