Great and Gracious

"The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.... He hath made His wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.... He sent redemption unto His people" (Psalm 111:2-9).

How great the works of God are found
By those who have explored
His wondrous treasures that abound!
What pleasure they afford!

How gracious is the Lord who makes
His works to be preserved.
Behold the Lamb of God who takes
The judgment we deserved!

How sweet the memory of His love
Compelling Jesus Christ
To leave His majesty above
And then be sacrificed!

O Lord, we ponder with great pleasure
That we are Your redeemed!
In You we find our greatest Treasure,
More than we could have dreamed!
