Magna et mirabilia
| 1 |
How wondrous and great Thy works, God of praise! How just, King of saints, and true are Thy ways! O who shall not fear Thee, and honor Thy Name? Thou only art holy, Thou only supreme. |
| 2 |
To nations long dark Thy light shall be shown; their worship and vows shall come to thy throne: Thy truth and Thy judgments shall spread all abroad, ‘til earth’s every people confess Thee their God. |

Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; *
just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? *
for thou only art holy:
for all nations shall come and worship before thee; *
for thy judgments are made manifest.
O ruler of the universe, Lord God, great deeds are they that you have done, *
surpassing human understanding.
Your ways are ways of righteousness and truth, *
O King of all the ages.
Who can fail to do you homage, Lord, and sing the praises of your Name? *
for you only are the Holy One.
All nations will draw near and fall down before you, *
because your just and holy works have been revealed.
