Lord of Creation, Bow Thine Ear

lyricist: From the Latin
Composer: François de la Feillée, 1782

Lord of cre­ation

bow Thine ear

O Christ

to hear

The in­ter­ces­sion of Thy

Servant true and dear

That we un­wor­thy

who have

Trespassed in Thy sight

May live be­fore Thee where he dwells

In glo­ri­ous light.

O God our Sav­ior

look on Thine

Inheritance

Sealed by the fa­vor shin­ing

From Thy coun­te­nance;

That no false spir­it bring to naught

The souls of price

Bought by the mer­it of Thy

Perfect sac­ri­fice.

We bear the bur­den of

Our guilt and en­mi­ty

Until Thy par­don lift the heart

From sla­ve­ry;

Then through the spend­ing

Of Thy life blood

King of grace

Grant us un­end­ing tri­umph

In Thy ho­ly place.

To Thee the glo­ri­ous Christ

Our Sav­ior ma­ni­fest

All wreaths vic­tor­ious

Praise and wor­ship

Be ad­dressed

Whom with the liv­ing Fa­ther

Humbly we adore

And the life giv­ing Spir­it

God for­ev­er­more.
