'Appeared in a collection (1808) drawn up by the Rev. Edward Cooper, Rector of Hamstall Ridware, and Yoxall, Staffordshire; anonymous, but attributed to Mr. Cooper on the authority of an aged clergyman who knew him personally (the Rev. John Wakefield, Rector of Hughley, Salop).'-Note in the annotated edition of 'Church Hymns.' Also marked 'Cooper' in a copy of the collection. This hymn, it is said, appeared in two collections previous to Cooper's.

Mrs. Flowerdew's name before marriage has not been discovered. Her
hymn may have been suggested by a harvest hymn in John Need-
ham's 'Hymns Devotional and Moral. Needham's hymn begins—
To praise the ever bounteous Lord.
Flowerdew's hymn very slightly resembles it.

In Biographic Notes to Irish Episcopal Church Hymnal, Major Craw-
ford states that this hymn is a translation by (Moravian) Bishop
Frederick William Foster, 1789; it appeared in the Moravian
Hymn Book, and was revised by the late Rev. William Mercer.
Gott ist gegenwärtig.

......354 Julia Anne Elliott......173

Second part of a hymn given as three hymns in the late Rev. Henry
Venn Elliott's Hymn Book. The three hymns begin thus:-

Hail, thou bright and sacred morn.

Great Creator! who this day.
Soon, too soon, the sweet repose.

Great God! and wilt thou condescend

Great God of wonders! all thy ways..

..Ann Gilbert (Taylor)......335
..Samuel Davies...... 40

Chiefly as in Free Church Hymn Book, 1872.

Original

1 Great God of wonders! all thy ways
Are matchless, God-like, and divine;
But the fair glories of thy grace
More God-like and unrivalled 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 die,
A pardon bought with Jesus' blood:
Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
50 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 the??
Or who has grace so rich and free?

Great God, what do I see and hear

v. 1 is first found in a collection of Psalms and Hymns, Sheffield, 1802. This verse was perhaps suggested by portions of Bartholomäus Ringwaldt's hymn—

Es ist gewisslich an der Zeit,

said to be a recast of an earlier hymn; or the verse may have been suggested by Johann Christian Jacobi's translation, in 'Psalmodia Germanica,' 1722, of Ringwaldt's hymn; the translation begins

'Tis sure that awful time will come.

v. 3, 4 are by William Bengo Collyer, but perhaps owe something to the same hymn or translation, and to other hymns.

A current version is given in the text, except that v. 2, l. 1 commonly reads

The dead in Christ shall first arise.

Collyer's Original—

1 Great God, what do I see and hear!
The end of things created!
The Judge of mankind doth appear,

On clouds of glory seated!

The trumpet sounds; the graves restore
The dead which they contained before;
Prepare, my soul, to meet him!

2 The dead in Christ are first to rise
And greet the archangel's warning,
To meet the Saviour in the skies,

On this auspicious morning;
No gloomy fears their souls dismay;
His presence sheds eternal day

On those prepared to meet him.

3 Far over space, to distant spheres,
The lightnings are prevailing;
The ungodly rise, and all their tears
And sighs are unavailing;

The day of grace is past and gone;
They shake before the judgment throne,
All unprepared to meet him.

4 Stay, fancy, stay, and close thy wings,
Repress thy flight too daring:
