How wondrous is thy mercy shewn To all that tremble at thy word! 4 Thy conqu'ring arm with terror crown'd Appear'd the humble to sustain: And all the sons of pride have found Their boasted wisdom void and vain. 5 The mighty from their native sky, Cast down thou hast in darkness bound: And rais'd the worms of earth on high With majesty and glory crown'd. 45Cf. Luke 1:46-55. 6 The rich have pin'd amidst their store, Nor e'er the way of peace have trod; Mean while the hungry souls thy pow'r Fill'd with the fulness of their God. 7 Come, Saviour, come, of old decreed! Faithful and true be thou confest: By all earth's tribes in Abraham's seed Henceforth thro' endless ages blest.","word_count":196,"source_url":null,"themes":["christology","catholic-spirit","universal-redemption"],"is_full_hymn":true,"created_at":"2026-01-29T16:57:10.788271"}]}
