God Eternal, Lord of All

God eter­nal

Lord of all

Lowly at Thy feet we fall;

All the earth doth wor­ship Thee;

We amidst the throng would be.

All the ho­ly an­gels cry

Hail

thrice ho­ly

God most high!

Lord of all the heav­en­ly pow­ers;

Be the same loud an­them ours.

Glorified apos­tles raise

Night and day con­tin­ual praise;

Hast Thou not a mis­sion

too

For Thy child­ren here to do?

With Thy pro­phets’ good­ly line

We in mys­tic bond com­bine;

For Thou hast to babes re­vealed

Things that to the wise were sealed.

Martyrs

in a no­ble host

Of Thy cross are heard to boast;

Since so bright the crown they wear

Early we Thy cross would bear.

All Thy Church in Heav’n and earth

Jesus

hail Thy spot­less birth

Own the God who all has made

And the Spir­it’s sooth­ing aid.

Offspring of a vir­gin’s womb

Slain

and vic­tor o’er the tomb

Seated on the judg­ment throne

Number us among Thine own.!

Day by day we mag­ni­fy Thee

And would ev­er­more be nigh Thee:

Keep us from the tempt­er’s snare;

Spare Thy peo­ple

Je­su

spare!
