Majestic in glory forever,
In character, perfect and pure
Your righteousness shines like the stars in the heavens,
Your justice eternal and sure
And as we consider these mysteries,
Beyond all the wonders we know
Our highest art cannot express
All the beauty of holiness.
Unworthy but welcome before You
Unlovely but loved by our Lord
A troubled creation, remade and renewed,
We’re ransomed, redeemed and restored!
But, as we consider these mysteries
Beyond all the wonders we know
Our highest art cannot express
All the beauty of holiness.
Sin’s penalty paid by the priest
In sovereignty crowned with compassion
The Lord gives His life for the least.
And throws open the gates to a feast…
So, as we behold Your perfection
(Which language but poorly describes)
Create, for Your praise, a reflection that shows
Your mercy and grace in our lives
And Lord, as we mirror these mysteries
Inviting Your likeness to grow
May our hearts and minds and tongues confess
All the beauty of holiness.
(Our thankful hearts are ever blessed
By the beauty of holiness
And our souls will find eternal rest
In the beauty of holiness)
