Thank You, Jesus! I have been singing this hymn for some time this Good Morning and decided it was time to search for it. It was hymn I grew up singing in our Sunday Evening Services while in Secondary School.
......thou hast stooped to ask of me the love of my poor heart........and gaze and gaze on thee..... Such a blessing to stumble on this beautiful hymn. I have not heard it in decades. It was one of my favourite hymns as a teenager. Thank you for uploading this.
1 My God, how wonderful thou art, thy majesty how bright! How beautiful thy mercy seat, in depths of burning light! 2 Wondrous are thine eternal years, O everlasting Lord, by holy angels day and night unceasingly adored! 3 O how I fear thee, living God, with deepest, tend'rest fears, and worship thee with trembling hope and penitential tears! 4 Yet I may love thee too, O Lord, almighty as thou art, for thou hast stooped to ask of me the love of my poor heart. 5 No earthly father loves like thee, no mother half so mild bears and forbears, as thou hast done with me, thy sinful child. 6 How wonderful, how beautiful, the sight of thee will be, thine endless wisdom, boundless pow'r, and awesome purity! 7 Father of Jesus, Love divine, what rapture it will be, prostrate before thy throne to lie, and gaze and gaze on thee!
