Words
⤢ Full screenGreat God, with wonder and with praise,On all thy works I look;But still thy wisdom, power, and graceShine brightest in thy book.
Lord, make me understand thy law,Show what my faults have been,And from thy gospel let me drawForgiveness for my sin.
Here are my choicest treasures hid,Here my best comfort lies,Here my desires are satisfied,And here my hopes arise.
