My God, How Wonderful Thou Art (Weekly Hymn Project)

Today's hymn is "My God, How Wonderful Thou Art".

I was going to say, "And here's another one I wasn't too familiar with", but I think I might as well stop saying things like that, as out of a hymnal with 500+ hymns, there are bound to be plenty that are unfamiliar. :-) I love the picture of how awesome God is, how small we should feel - and yet! That He "stooped to ask of me the love of my poor heart".
(I smiled as I looked at Alana when I started, but didn't realize all she was doing that appeared on the right of the frame. She's a cute distraction. :-)

Lyrics:

My God, how wonderful Thou art,
Thy majesty how bright,
How beautiful Thy mercy seat,
In depths of burning light,
In depths of burning light!

How dread are Thine eternal years,
O everlasting Lord:
By prostrate spirits day and night
Incessantly adored,
Incessantly adored!

How wonderful, how beautiful,
The sight of Thee must be,
Thine endless wisdom, boundless pow’r,
And awful purity,
And awful purity!

O how I fear Thee, Living God,
With deepest, tend’rest fears,
And worship Thee with trembling hope,
And penitential tears,
And penitential tears.

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,
The love of my poor heart.
