Show How He Has Shined

"O Lord GOD, Thou hast begun to show Thy servant Thy greatness, and Thy mighty hand" (Deuteronomy 3:24).  "The LORD hath made known His salvation: His righteousness hath He openly showed in the sight of the heathen.  He hath remembered His mercy and His truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God" (Psalm 98:2,3).  "The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up" (Matthew 4:16 ).   

The greatness of God's mighty hand

Throughout the earth is clearly shown.

The Gospel sent to every land

Has made His great salvation known. 

His mercy and His truth are seen

Upon the cross where Jesus died

To make the vilest sinner clean

Who by his faith is justified.  

We show our Savior's mighty arm,

Who from His purpose never swerved:

He ran into the path of harm

To bear the wrath that we deserved.

Lord, we were hopeless and so blind, 

As in the darkness, death drew near,

But now we show how You have shined

By making Your salvation clear.
