Be Thou Exalted

Be Thou ex­alt­ed

for­ev­er and ev­er

God of eter­ni­ty

An­cient of Days!

Wondrous in ma­jes­ty

per­fect in wis­dom

Glorious in ho­li­ness

fear­ful in praise.

Be Thou ex­alt­ed by ser­aphs and an­gels

Be Thou ex­alt­ed with harp and with song;

Saints in their an­thems of rap­ture ad­ore Thee

Martyrs the loud hal­le­lu­jahs pro­long.

Be Thou ex­alt­ed

O Son of the High­est!

Gracious Re­deem­er

our Sav­ior and King!

One with the Fa­ther

co-eq­ual in glo­ry

Here at Thy foot­stool our hom­age we bring.

Be Thou ex­alt­ed

O Spir­it eter­nal!

Dwell in our hearts

keep us ho­ly with­in;

Lead to Thy home in the life ev­er­last­ing

Open its por­tals and wel­come us in.
