Infinite God, to you we raise

Author: Charles Wesley 1707-88 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 46 hymnals Topics: Approaching God The Eternal Trinity Lyrics: 1 Infinite God, to you we raise our hearts in solemn songs of praise; by all your works on earth adored, we worship you, the one true Lord; the everlasting Father own and bow our souls before your throne. 2 To you the choir of angels sings, the Lord of hosts, the King of kings; all heaven proclaims your praise aloud and shouts your name, the triune God; they 'Holy, holy, holy' cry, 'your glory fills both earth and sky!' 3 God of the ancient chosen race, the scribes of old record your praise; apostles, prophets, all proclaim the wonders of your mighty name; and all the saints in glory join to sing your majesty divine. 4 Head of the white-robed martyrs’ host, of you they rightly make their boast; the church, to earth’s remotest bounds her heavenly founder’s praise resounds, and with the creatures round the throne they worship you, the Three-in-One. 5 Father of endless majesty, who were and are and yet shall be, your Son, our Saviour, we adore, the same in dignity and power; your Holy Spirit we declare, the saints’ eternal comforter.
