1
My Father God, when on Thy vast creation,
The wonders of the heav’n and earth, I gaze,
Things great and small, beyond enumeration,
Which manifest Thy pow’r in untold ways;
 
Then all my being sings in praise to Thee,
  How marvellous! How great Thou art!
And this I’ll sing through all eternity,
    How marvellous! How great Thou art!
2
As I enjoy the grace of Thy salvation
And contemplate how Thou Thy Son hast sent,
Who died that we might be Thy new creation,
Thy life expressing to the full extent;
3
When in the church, in blest participation,
I see how millions Thine own life possess,
How they are built to form Thy habitation,
Containing Thee, Thy fulness to express;
4
As I expect the coming age of fulness
And hope to share the new Jerusalem,
With all the heavens and the earth in newness
And all Thou art expressed in all of them;

Thank you our dear Abba Father

We are your many sons

And will be part in and share the new Jerusalem

With all the heavens and the earth in newness

And all Thou art expressed in all of them;

Things great and small, beyond enumeration, which manifest Thy power in untold way.

Many time I was gazing on the different flowers and leaves. I was always amazed how beautiful they were and I couldn't help but praise the Lord.

I was quite touched by verse 3. The Father's desire is to be expressed in many sons. The church today is a blessing for us to participate and see millions who have the life of God.

This song reminds me of when I go hiking and see a vast view, or when I look up at the stars at night and see the beauty of creation, and get the sense of awe and wonder at how great God is. How marvellous, how great Thou art! God has created such a vast and diverse universe, yet He has a special care for man!

Rm 1:20 For the invisible things of Him, both His eternal power and divine characteristics, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being perceived by the things made, so that they would be without excuse;

Ps 8:1 O Jehovah our Lord, / How excellent is Your name / In all the earth, / You who have set Your glory over the heavens!

Ps 8:4 What is mortal man, that You remember him, / And the son of man, that You visit him?

I hope all my days on this earth will be spent "singing praise to Thee"! For what He has done, is doing and will do in me and for His eternal, unchanging purpose!
