Verse 1
What astonishing mercy and power
In accord with His pleasure and will
He created each planet each flower
Ev'ry galaxy microbe and hill
He suspended this planet in space
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
Verse 2
With despicable self-love and rage
We rebelled and fell under the curse
Yet God did not rip out the page
And destroy all who love the perverse
No He chose us to make a new race
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
Verse 3
Providentially ruling all things
To conform to the end he designed
He mysteriously governs and brings
His eternal wise plans into time
He works out every step every trace
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
Verse 4
Long before the creation began
He foreknew those He'd ransomed in Christ
Long before time's cold hourglass ran
He ordained the supreme sacrifice
In the cross He removed our disgrace
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
Verse 5
We were blessed in the heavenly realms
Love before being included in Christ
Since we heard the good news overwhelmed
We reach forward to seize Paradise
We shall see Him ourselves face to face
To the praise of His glorious name
To the praise of His glorious name
To the praise of His glorious name
