Great God of wonders to thee our praises arise
When we receive your gift of life in your Beloved Son
By which man is restored by grace manifest in worthy sacrosanct blood
Sustained is fervour of fervent exaltation of grateful souls
Acknowledging grace's work in worthy praise –
Rabble assembly of harried humanity snuggling to their Creator and Saviour
Their plaintive joy sweetest music to loving Father
Welcoming to His presence prodigal children shown a way back to their Father
Grateful is Man for your compassion that long hours in desert of spiritual sanctity
Has come to a definite end in Christ Jesus –
Worship has risen in altars set in willing hearts
Welling out of dried out hearts reborn
Overwhelming outpouring of thanksgiving
Filling glory of magnificent presence of throne of grace with thanksgiving -
Of things long sought, their joy long forgotten in arid desert of want
Now, bitter, dry desert grounds having been watered in showers of blessing
Pouring forth from torn tendons of Christly King
Life given life rebirth in light, blazing swath of glorious presence in His earthly heritage –
