Text: Samuel Davies | Tune: SURREY
Great God of wonders! all Thy ways
Display the attributes divine;
But countless acts of pardoning grace,
Beyond Thine other wonders shine:
Who is a pardoning God like Thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
Such dire offences to forgive,
Such guilty, daring worms to spare;
This is Thy grand prerogative,
And in the honour none shall share:
Refrain
In wonder lost, with trembling joy,
We take the pardon of our God,
Pardon for sins of deepest dye,
A pardon bought with Jesus’ blood:
Refrain
O may this strange, this wondrous grace,
This matchless miracle of love,
Fill the wide earth with grateful praise
And all the angelic choirs above:
Refrain
