Lyrics

How won­drous and great
Thy works, God of praise!
How just, King of saints,
And true are Thy ways!
O who shall not fear Thee,
And hon­or Thy name?
Thou on­ly art ho­ly,
Thou on­ly su­preme.

To na­tions long dark
Thy light shall be shown;
Their wor­ship and vows
Shall come to Thy throne:
Thy truth and Thy judg­ments
Shall spread all abroad,
Till earth’s ev­ery peo­ple
Confess Thee their God.
