Text:Be thou exalted, O my God!
Tune:STRONG
Composer:H. A. Lewis

21. Be thou exalted, O my God!

1 Be thou exalted, O my God!
Above the heav'ns where angels dwell;
Thy power on earth be known abroad,
And land to land thy wonders tell.

2 My heart is fixed, my song shall raise
Immortal honors to Thy name;
Awake my tongue, to sound his praise,
My tongue, the glory of my frame.

3 High o'er the earth his mercy reigns,
And reaches to the utmost sky;
His truth to endless years remain,
When lower worlds dissolve and die.
