Author: Robert Robinson Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #5 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7 with alleluias Lyrics: 1 Mighty God, while angels bless thee,
May a mortal sing thy Name?
Lord of men as well as angels,
Thou art ev'ry creature's theme.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.
2 Lord of ev'ry land and nation,
Ancient of eternal days,
Sounded through the wide creation
Be thy just and lawful praise.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.
3 For the grandeur of thy nature,
Grand beyond the seraph's thought;
For created works of power,
Works with skill and kindness wrought.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 But thy rich, thy free redemption,
Dark through brightness all along,
Thought is poor, and poor expression,
Who dare sing that awful song?
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.
5 Brightness of the Father's glory,
Shall thy praise unuttered lie?
Fly, my tongue, such guilty silence,
Sing the Lord who came to die:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.
6 From the highest throne in glory,
To the cross of deepest woe,
All to ransom guilty captives,
Flow my praise, for ever flow.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.
