Thou, Whose Wide Extended Sway

Thou

whose wide ex­tend­ed sway

Suns and sys­tems e’er ob­ey!

Thou

our guard­ian and our stay

Grace and peace im­part;

May Thy word its pow­er dis­play

And Thy love-en­kind­ling ray

Warm

en­light­en

and as­say

Every wait­ing heart.

Thine we are

and hum­bly we

Lift the voice and bend the knee!

Thou art wor­thy

and shalt be

Evermore ad­ored:

In pro­spect­ive

Lord

we see

Jew and Gen­tile

bond and free

Reconciled in Christ to Thee

Holy

ho­ly Lord!

Thou by all shalt be con­fessed

Ever bless­ing

ev­er blest

When to Thy eter­nal rest

In the courts above

Thou shalt bring the sore op­pressed;

Fill each joy-de­sir­ing breast;

Make of each a wel­come guest

At the feast of love.

When de­stroy­ing death shall die

Hushed be ev­ery ris­ing sigh

Tears be wiped from ev­ery eye

Never more to fall;

Then shall prais­es fill the sky

And an­gel­ic hosts shall cry

Holy

ho­ly

Lord

most high

Thou art all in all!
