English poem
O God, Thy Power Is Wonderful
by Frederick William Faber (1814–1863)
O God, Thy power is wonderful, Thy glory passing bright; Thy wisdom, with its deep on deep, A rapture to the sight.
I see Thee in the eternal years In glory all alone, Ere round Thine uncreated fires Created light had shone.
I see Thee walk in Eden’s shade, I see Thee all through time; Thy patience and compassion seem New attributes sublime.
I see Thee when the doom is o’er, And outworn time is done, Still, still incomprehensible, O God, yet not alone.
Angelic spirits, countless souls, Of Thee have drunk their fill; And to eternity will drink Thy joy and glory still.
O little heart of mine! shall pain Or sorrow make thee moan, When all this God is all for thee, A Father all thine own?
