Laudes Domini ‎#427

427. O Lord most high, eternal King

1 O Lord most high, eternal King,
By thee redeemed thy praise we sing;
The bonds of death are burst by thee,
And grace has won the victory.

2 Ascending to the Father’s throne
Thou claim’st the kingdom as thine own;
Thy days of mortal weakness o’er,
All power is thine for evermore.

3 To thee the whole creation now
Shall, in its threefold order, bow,
Of things on earth, and things on high,
And things that underneath us lie.

4 Be thou our joy, O mighty Lord,
As thou wilt be our great reward;
Let all our glory be in thee
Both now and through eternity.
