Author: Nikolaus Decius; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #15 (1957) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 All glory be to God on high,
Who hath our race befriended!
To us no harm shall now come nigh,
The strife at last is ended;
God showeth His good will to men,
And peace shall reign on earth again;
O thank Him for His goodness.
2 We praise, we worship Thee, we trust,
And give Thee thanks forever,
O Father, that Thy rule is just,
And wise, and changes never.
Thy boundless power o'er all things reigns,
Thou dost whate'er Thy will ordains;
Well for us that Thou rulest!
3 O Jesus Christ, our God and Lord,
Son of Thy heavenly Father,
O Thou who hast our peace restored
And the lost sheep dost gather,
Thou Lamb of God, to Thee on high,
From out our depths, we sinners cry:
Have mercy on us, Jesus!
4 O Holy Ghost, Thou precious Gift,
Thou Comforter unfailing,
O'er Satan's snares our souls uplift,
And let Thy power, availing,
Avert our woes and calm our dread;
For us the Savior's blood was shed;
We trust in Thee to save us!
Amen. Topics: Worship Adoration and Praise Scripture: Luke 18:13 Tune Title: NUN FREUT EUCH
