It breathes in the air; it shines in the light; it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, and sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, in thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail; thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end, our maker, defender, redeemer, and friend. 6 O measureless Might, ineffable Love, while angels delight to hymn thee above, the humbler creation, though feeble their lays, with true adoration shall sing to thy praise.

To Him who sits upon the throne, The Lamb once slain but raised again, Be all the glory He has won, All thanks and praise! Amen, amen. 2 For deep in the prophets' sacred page, And grand in poets' winged word, Slowly in type, from age to age The nations saw their coming Lord; Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song, "Good will to men!" Sung once by first-born sons of light, It echoes now, "Good will!" Amen. 3 That life of truth, those deeds of love, That death so steeped in hate and scorn-- These all are past, and now above He reigns, our King once crowned with thorn. Lift up your heads, O mighty gates! So sang that host beyond our ken. Lift up your heads, your King awaits. We lift them up. Amen, amen. 4 Then raise to Christ a mighty song, And shout His name, His mercies tell! Sing, heav'nly host, your praise prolong, And all on earth, your anthem swell! All hail, O Lamb for sinners slain! Forever let the song ascend! Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign, All glory, pow'r! Amen, amen. Used With Tune: O GROSSER GOTT
