Such Knowledge is Too Wonderful For Us

Charles Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 139:1-6

Verse 1

Shall foolish, weak, short-sighted man, Beyond the angels go-- The great Almighty God explain, Or to perfection know?

Verse 2

His attributes divinely soar Above the creature's sight, And prostrate seraphim adore The glorious Infinite.

Verse 3

The brightness of his glory leaves Description far below; Nor man's nor angel's heart conceives How deep his mercies flow.

Verse 4

His grace is most unsearchable, And dazzles all above; They gaze, but can not count or tell The treasures of his love.
