O Holy Lord, Our God

lyricist: J. Young, 1843
Composer: Henry Gauntlett

O ho­ly Lord

our God

By heav’n­ly hosts ad­ored

Hear us

we pray;

To Thee the cher­ub­im

Angels and se­ra­phim

Unceasing prais­es hymn

Their hom­age pay.

Here give Thy Word suc­cess

And this Thy serv­ant bless

His la­bors own;

And while the sin­ner’s friend

His life and words com­mend

The Ho­ly Spir­it send

And make Him known.

May ev­ery pass­ing year

More hap­py still ap­pear

Than this glad day;

With num­bers fill the place

Adorn Thy saints with grace

Thy truth may all em­brace

O Lord

we pray.

O Lord

our God

arise;

And now

be­fore our eyes

Thy arm make bare;

Unite our hearts in love

Till

raised to Heav’n ab­ove

We all its full­ness prove

And praise Thee there.
