Glorious Majesty (EN 1899)

1

Glorious Majesty, before Thee

We bow to worship and adore Thee;

With grateful hearts to Thee we sing,

Earth and heaven tell the story

Of Thine eternal might and glory,

And all Thy works their incense bring.

Lo, hosts of cherubim and countless seraphim

Sing hosanna, holy is God

Almighty God, all merciful and all wise God!

2

God of light, exalted, holy!

Thy tender care protects the lowly,

Nor leaves Thy children to their fate.

Gracious art Thou, God our Father,

Thy chosen people Thou dost gather,

Within Thine arms compassionate,

Thou gavest us Thy Son, through whom Thy grace is won,

And Thy Spirit dwelleth within to cleanse from sin

Whom Thine own Son hath died to win.

3

Bless and keep, O Lord, Thy creatures,

Reveal to us Thy gracious features,

O turn to us Thy face with peace

Here our songs we humbly tender,

Til glorified our tongues shall render

To Thee our praise without surcease,

Where hosts of cherubim and countless seraphim

Sing holy is God, almighty God,

All merciful and all wise God!
