"Wondrous
Vision, Wondrous Sight"
Wondrous
vision, Wondrous sight
Wondrous
strength in every fright.
Oh what
wonder in that place
Seeing
radiance face-to-face!
Thine the
everlasting glory
God,
transformed before their eyes.
Hear
the Voice from heav'n declare,
“This
is My Son divine!”
Thine the
mocking, Thine the whip
Thine the
garments from Thee stripped,
Thine the
nails, the tree, the blood
Thine
grace’s everlasting flood.
Ours the
sorrow, ours the wonder
How our
hearts are mystified
Seeing
God’s own Son before us...
Dying,
crucified!
Wonder, glory, honor be
Lord of Glory, now, to Thee!
All the world on bended knee
Kneels before Thee rev’rently.
Worthy, worthy, God of Glory,
Praise to Thee, God’s holy Lamb,
Power, wealth and wisdom, strength and honor
Great I Am.
Sing
the “Amen!” Sound the praise
Glorify the God of Grace!
See His glory in the night
Shine in us, grace's holy Light.
Give us mercy e’er extending
From Thy sacrifice divine.
Show
Thy all surpassing glory to us
Lord, God on high!
