Wartburg Hymnal ‎#140

140. From glory unto glory!

1 From glory unto glory!
Be this our joyous song;
As on the King’s own highway,
We bravely march along:
From glory unto glory!
O word of stirring cheer,
As dawns the solemn brightness of
Another glad New Year.

2 From glory unto glory!
What great things He hath done!
What wonders He hath shown us,
What triumphs He hath won!
From glory unto glory!
What mighty blessings crown
The lives for which our Lord hath laid
His own so freely down!

3 The fullness of His blessing
Encompasseth our way;
The fullness of His promises
Crowns every brightening day;
The fullness of His glory
Is beaming from above,
While more and more are taught of God
To know that mighty love.

4 And closer yet and closer,
The golden bonds shall be,
Uniting all who love our Lord
In pure sincerity;
And wider yet and wider shall
The circling glory glow,
As more and more are taught of God
That mighty love to know.

5 Oh, let our adoration
For all that He hath done,
Peal out beyond the stars of God,
While voice and life are one;
And let our consecration
Be real, and deep, and true;
Oh, even now our hearts bow,
And joyful vows renew.

6 Now onward, ever onward,
From strength to strength we go,
While grace for grace abundantly
Shall from His fullness flow,
To glory’s full fruition,
From glory’s foretaste here,
Until His very presence crown
Our happiest New Year.
