O Lord, Enlarge Our Scanty Thought

Congregational singing
Metropolitan Tabernacle, London
Text: Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf | Tune: EDEN (Mason)

O Lord, enlarge our scanty thought
To know the wonders Thou hast wrought;
Unloose our stammering tongues to tell
Thy love, immense, unsearchable.

What are our works but sin and death,
Till Thou Thy quickening Spirit breathe;
Thou giv’st the power Thy grace to move:
O wondrous grace! O boundless love!

How can it be, Thou heavenly King,
That Thou shouldst us to glory bring;
Make slaves the partners of Thy throne,
Decked with a never-fading crown?

Our hearts then melt, our eyes o’erflow,
Our words are lost; nor will we know,
Nor will we think of aught beside,
My Lord, my Love, is crucified!

Firstborn of many brethren Thou;
To Thee, lo! all our souls we bow;
To Thee our hearts and hands we give:
Thine may we die, Thine may we live!
