Author: Johann Scheffler (Angelus), 1624-1677 Hymnal: Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church #219 (1969) Lyrics: 1 Thy majesty, how vast it is,
And how immense the glory,
Which Thou, O Jesus, dost possess;
Both heaven and earth adore Thee;
The legions of angels exalt Thy great Name,
Thy glory and might are transcendent;
And thousands of thousands Thy praises proclaim,
Upon Thee gladly dependent.
2 Thy Father’s equal, God the Son,
With Him Thou ever reignest;
Thou art partaker of His throne,
And all things Thou sustainest;
Both angels and men view their Maker as man,
With joy that is past all expression;
O happy, unspeakably happy, who can
In Jesus find life and salvation.
3 The Church on earth, in humble strain,
Exalteth Christ, our Savior,
She sings, “The Lamb for us was slain,
Our foe is cast for ever;
For Christ hath redeemed us with His precious blood
Out of every nation and kindred,
And make us thereby kings and priests unto God.
To Him thanksgiving be rendered.” Topics: God the Son Praise and Adoration of Christ Languages: English Tune Title: THY MAJESTY
