WE praise, we worship Thee, O God, Thy sovereign power we sound abroad: All nations bow before Thy throne, And Thee the eternal Father own. |
|||
2 | Loud hallelujahs to Thy name Angels and seraphim proclaim: The heavens and all the powers on high With rapture constantly do cry |
||
3 | ‘O holy, holy, holy Lord! Thou God of hosts, by all adored; Earth and the heavens are full of Thee, Thy light, Thy power, Thy majesty.’ |
||
4 | Apostles join the glorious throng And swell the loud immortal song; Prophets enraptured hear the sound And spread the hallelujahs round. |
||
5 | Victorious martyrs join their praise And sing the omnipotence of grace, While all Thy Church through all the earth Acknowledge and extol Thy worth. |
||
6 | Glory to Thee, O God most high! Father, we praise Thy majesty, The Son, the Spirit, we adore: One Godhead, blest for evermore. |
