Wonders in His Works

"Declare His glory among the heathen, His wonders among all people" (Psalm 96:2).  "[He] Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses... There arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves... Then He arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm... The devils besought Him, saying, If Thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.  And He said unto them, Go " (Matthew 8:17-32). 

Declare our Savior's awesome glory;

Make known His wonders every day. 

Recount our great Redeemer's story,

Who paid the price we could not pay. 

Our soul was filled with sin's disease

As we approached our hopeless graves,

And death arose like troubled seas

Which threatened us with crashing waves. 

Then Christ arose in our defense

To bear our soul's infirmity.

He took our judgment's consequence:

God's wrath for our iniquity! 

Declare His glory with a Psalm

To celebrate our Savior's might! 

The winds and sea are rendered calm

And demons have been put to flight!

O Lord, our greatest Friend in need,

Our Hero in our soul's distress,

We thank You that You have decreed

That we shall wear Your righteousness! 

We thank You, Lord, with celebration

For works which are so marvelous,

Accomplishing our soul's salvation

When You laid down Your life for us. 

The wonders in Your works, O Savior,

Are greater than we comprehend,

Yet we declare Your Gospel's favor,

Which to the lost You still extend.
