1We praise, we worship Thee, O God;
Thy sovereign power we sound abroad;
All nations bow before Thy throne,
And Thee the Eternal Father own.
2Loud hallelujahs to Thy name
Angels and seraphim proclaim;
The heavens and all the powers on high
With rapture constantly do cry,–
3“O, holy, holy, holy Lord,
Thou God of Hosts, by all adored;
Earth and the heavens are full of Thee,
Thy light, Thy power, Thy majesty.”
4Apostles join the glorious throng,
And swell the loud immortal song;
Prophets enraptured hear the sounds,
And spread the hallelujah round.
5Victorious martyrs join their lays
And shout the omnipotence of grace,
While all Thy Church, through all the earth,
Acknowledge and extol Thy worth.
6Glory to Thee, O God, most high!
Father, we praise Thy majesty;
The Son, the Spirit, we adore;
One Godhead, blest forevermore. Amen.
