1 Great God of wonders all thy ways,
  Are matchless, Godlike, and divine;
  But thy fair glories of thy grace,
  More Godlike and unrival'd shine,
  Who is a pardoning God like thee?
  Or who has grace so rich and free?

2 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 pardoning God like thee?
  Or who has grace so rich and free?

3 Angels and men, resign your claim,
  To pity, mercy, love, and grace;
  These glories crown Jehovah's name,
  With an incomparable blaze.
  Who is a pardoning God like thee?
  Or who has grace so rich and free?

4 In wonder lost with trembling joy,
  We take the pardon of our God,
  Pardon for crimes of deepest dye,
  A pardon bought with Jesus' blood.
  Who is a pardoning God like thee?
  Or who has grace so rich and free?

5 O may this strange, this matchless grace,
  This God like miracle of love,
  Fill the wide earth with grateful praise,
  And all the Angelic Hosts above,
  Who is a pardoning God like thee?
  Or who has grace so rich and free?
