English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 72:18-19

Verse 1

Sure thy name is Wonderful Counsellor, the mighty God, Whom the Heav'nly hosts adore, Praise we thro' the earth abroad.

Verse 2

Thou the Godhead bearing down, To the sight of mortal man, Flesh in form, and God in pow'r, Suited art to all thy plan.

Verse 3

Center'd in thy lovely face, Judgement, mercy, both appear; All the Father's honour meets, All his glory triumphs here.

Verse 4

Wonderfully form'd to raise, Adam's fallen, helpless race, Form'd to purchase and secure, For thy people, boundless Grace.

Verse 5

Thou that Prophet art and King, Thou the Priest foretold to rise; Thou the sacrificer art, Thou too art the sacrifice.

Verse 6

Lamb of God, that once was slain, Bleeding on the painful tree, Risen and ascended high, We adore thy majesty.

Verse 7

Wonderful art thou in pow'r, Wonderful art thou in love; Be thou all our theme below, Be thou all our Heav'n above?
