Hymn "Almighty God, the Most Lovely One"

Hymn
Almighty God, the Most Lovely One

I

Almighty God, practical One, most lovely, came from heaven to earth, born into flesh. Live among men yet no one knows who You are. Humbly hidden in flesh, You come to speak. Pain and humiliation, You endure. Life poured out to save us; You are lovely. Almighty God, Almighty God, most lovely One! Who is like You, O God? Who is like You, O God? Most lovely One! You're the fairest of all. No one like You on earth. Most lovely One! Altogether lovely One!

II

Almighty God, practical One, most lovely! Your heart and love transcend this finite world. Our rebellion and sin show in Your presence. Yet You only refine to cleanse and save. Through Your judgment, through suffering we are cleansed. All You've done brings to us eternal life. Almighty God, Almighty God, most lovely One! Who is like You, O God? Who is like You, O God? Most lovely One! You're the fairest of all. No one like You on earth. Most lovely One! Altogether lovely One!

III

Your work and words reveal Your great righteousness. They have brought us the greatest salvation. And Your judgment and love have conquered our hearts. We've experienced ourselves Your love and power, known Your righteousness, wisdom, holiness. Who can not ponder all of Your loveliness? Almighty God, Almighty God, most lovely One! Who is like You, O God? Who is like You, O God? Most lovely One! You're the fairest of all. No one like You on earth. Most lovely One! Altogether lovely One!
