Thou, Who Dwell’st Enthroned on High

lyricist: George Sandys (1576–1643)
Composer: Anonymous, 1859

Thou who dwell’st en­throned ab­ove!

Thou

in whom we live and move!

Thou

who art most great

most high!

God from all eter­ni­ty.

O how sweet

how ex­cel­lent

’Tis when tongue and heart con­sent

Grateful hearts

and joy­ful tongues

Hymning Thee in tune­ful songs!

When the morn­ing paints the skies

When the stars of ev­en­ing rise

We Thy prais­es shall record

Sovereign Rul­er

migh­ty Lord!

Decks the spring with flow­ers the field?

Harvest rich doth au­tumn yield?

Giver of all good be­low!

Lord

from Thee these bless­ings flow.

Sovereign Rul­er! migh­ty Lord!

We Thy prais­es will re­cord:

Giver of these bless­ings! we

Pour the grate­ful song to Thee.
