Great God of wonders! all thy ways by John Newton — Lyrics
of Wonders! all thy Ways
Are matchless, godlike and divine,
But the fair Glories of thy Grace
More godlike and unrivall'd shine:
Who is a pard'ning like Thee?
Or who has Grace so rich and free?
Crimes of such Horror to forgive,
Such guilty daring Worms to spare,
This is thy grand Prerogative,
And none shall in the Honour share.
Who is a pard'ning like Thee?
Or who has Grace so rich and free?
Angels and Men, resign your Claim
To Pity, Mercy, Love, and Grace,
These Glories crown Name

This SATB setting of the English text brings to life the overwhelming gratitude and wonder felt by believers receiving such unmerited pardon. Its clear message and devotional nature make it a powerful choice for church choirs seeking a hymn that speaks directly to the heart of faith.
