God Eternal, Mighty King

lyricist: 6th Century Latin
Composer: Raymond Mallary, 1901

God eter­nal

migh­ty King

Unto Thee our praise we bring;

All the earth doth wor­ship Thee;

We amid the throng would be.

Holy

ho­ly

ho­ly! cry

Angels

round Thy throne on high

Lord of all the heav’n­ly pow’rs

Be the same loud an­them ours.

Glorified apos­tles raise

Night and day

con­tin­ual praise;

Hast not Thou a mis­sion

too

For Thy child­ren here to do?

With the 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 the cross are heard to boast;

Oh

that we our cross may bear

And a crown of glo­ry wear.

God eter­nal

migh­ty King

Unto Thee our praise we bring;

To the Fa­ther

and the Son

And the Spir­it

Three in One.
