60. Mighty God, While Angels Bless Thee

1 Mighty God, while angels bless Thee,
May a mortal sing Thy name?
Lord of men, as well as angels,
Thou art every creature’s theme.
Lord of every land and nation,
Ancient of eternal days,
Sounded through the wide creation
Be Thy just and lawful praise.

2 For the grandeur of Thy nature,
Grand beyond a seraph’s thought,
For the wonders of creation,
Works with skill and kindness wrought;
For Thy providence that governs
Thro' Thine empire's wide domain,
Wings an angel, guides a sparrow,
Blessed be Thy gentle reign.

3 From the highest throne in glory
To the cross of deepest woe,
Thou didst stoop to ransom captives;
Flow my praise, forever flow.
Reascend, immortal Savior,
Leave Thy footstool, take Thy throne;
Thence return, and reign forever,
Be the kingdom all Thine own.

Amen.
