1 A hymn of glory let us sing,
New hymns throughout the world shall ring;
By a new way none ever trod
Christ takes his placeāthe throne of God!
2 You are a present joy, O Lord;
You will be ever our reward;,
And great the light in you we see
To guide us to eternity.
3 O risen Christ, ascended Lord,
All praise to you let earth accord,
Who are, while endless ages run,
With Father and with Spirit, One.
Amen.
