What Wonderful!

"O LORD, Thou art my God; I will exalt Thee, I will praise Thy name; for Thou hast done wonderful things; Thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.... for Thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat.... He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces.... This is the LORD; we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation" (Isaiah 25:1-9).

What wonderful things by the Lord have been done;
How faithful and true are His counsels of old!
He promised to send to the world His Son,
And thus He accomplished what prophets foretold.

What wonderful things from the Lord are displayed,
Enriching the poor and relieving distressed!
In storms He's our Refuge, in heat He's our Shade,
In death He's our Victor: How much He has blessed!

What wonderful things, when the Lord yet appears,
Will strengthen and comfort us then by His grace!
The Lord God will tenderly wipe away tears,
And joy with rejoicing shall then take their place.

O Lord, when we think of how faithful You've been,
We praise and we thank You for so great salvation!
Assured by Your Word that You're coming again,
We wait, work, and worship with this expectation!
