We bow to worship and adore thee;
With grateful hearts to thee we sing,
Earth and heaven tell the story
Of thine eternal might and glory,
And all thy works their incense bring.
Lo, hosts of cherubim
And countless seraphim
Sing, Hosanna,
Holy is God, almighty God,
All-merciful and all-wise God! A-men.
2 God of light, exalted, holy!
Thy tender care protects the lowly,
Nor leaves thy children to their fate.
Gracious art thou, God our Father,
Thy chosen people thou dost gather
Within thine arms compassionate;
Thou gavest us thy Son,
Through whom thy grace is won,
And thy Spirit
Dwelleth within to cleanse from sin
Whom thine own Son hath died to win.
3 Bless and keep, O Lord, thy creatures,
Reveal to us thy gracious features,
O turn to us thy face with peace.
Here our songs we humbly tender,
Till glorified our tongues shall render
To thee our praise without surcease,
Where hosts of cherubim
And countless seraphim
Sing, Hosanna,
Holy is God, almighty God,
All-merciful and all-wise God!
Amen. Used With Tune: WACHET AUF
