Be Thou, O God, Exalted High › Representative Texts

1 Be thou, O God exalted high;
And as Your glory fills the sky,
So let it be on earth displayed,
'Til You are here, as there, obeyed.
'Til You are here, as there, obeyed.

2 O God, my heart is fixed; ’tis bent
Its thankful tribute to present;
And, with my heart, my voice I’ll raise
To You, my God, in songs of praise.
To You, my God, in songs of praise.

3 Awake, my glory; harp and lute,
No longer let our strings be mute;
And I, my tuneful part to take,
Will with the early dawn awake.
Will with the early dawn awake.

4 Your praises, Lord, I will resound
To all the list'ning nations round;
Your mercy highest heav’n transcends;
Your truth beyond the clouds extends.
Your truth beyond the clouds extends.

And, with my heart, my voice I’ll raise
To Thee, my God, in songs of praise.

To all the listening nations round;
Thy mercy highest heav’n transcends;
Thy truth beyond the clouds extends.
