A MARVELLOUS THING

Sunset

Ah Lord God! You are a wonder,

Early in the morning and evening we will ponder;

On your awesome love;

You sent from above.

You laid aside your divinity,

Your royal robe and kingly crown,

Clothe your divinity in humanity
When you laid aside your throne;

Came down to this sinful world to stand as head;

In order that we might be saved instead.

Ah Lord God! You are a wonder,

Early in the morning and evening we will ponder;

On your awesome love;

You sent from above.

As we watched you humbled yourself,

We saw the love in your eyes for ourself;

You are indeed our pattern man;

You are faithful, forever true; forever human.

Ah Lord God! You are a wonder,

Early in the morning and evening we will ponder;

On your awesome love;

You sent from above.

You suffered terribly for our race,

The insult, the agony we behold on your face;

You came voluntarily, accomplish your work of atonement;

That all your children could avoid the punishment;

Foxes had their holes; the birds their nest;

Yet you King of Kings had nowhere to rest,

Ah Lord God! You are a wonder,

Early in the morning and at evening we will ponder;

On your awesome love;

You sent from above.

You were independent and above all rule,

Angels your messengers could not be our substitute;

No one could atone for fallen man;

Except the one and only God man.

Ah Lord God! You are a wonder,

Early in the morning and at evening we will ponder;

On your awesome love;

You sent from above.
