God, we praise you! God, we bless you!

God, we praise you! God, we bless you!
God, we name you sovereign Lord!
Mighty King, whom angels worship,
Father, by your church adored;
all creation shows your glory,
heaven and earth draw near your throne
singing, ‘Holy, holy, holy,
Lord of hosts, and God alone!’

2. True apostles, faithful prophets,
saints who set their world ablaze,
martyrs, once unknown, unheeded,
join one growing song of praise,
while your church on earth confesses
one majestic Trinity:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
God, our hope eternally.

3. Jesus Christ, the King of glory,
everlasting Son of God,
humble was your virgin mother,
hard the lowly path you trod;
by your cross is sin defeated,
hell confronted face to face,
heaven opened to believers,
sinners justified by grace.

4. Christ, at God’s right hand victorious,
you will judge the world you made;
Lord, in mercy help your servants
for whose freedom you have paid;
raise us up from dust to glory,
guard us from all sin today;
King enthroned above all praises,
save your people, God, we pray.
