God Eternal, Lord of All

Verse 1

God Eternal, Lord of all,
Lowly at Thy feet we fall;
All the earth doth worship Thee;
We amidst the throng would be.

Verse 2

All the holy angels cry,
“Hail, thrice Holy, God Most High!”
Lord of all the heavenly powers,
Be the same loud anthem ours.

Verse 3

Glorified apostles raise
Night and day continual praise;
Hast Thou not a mission too
For Thy children here to do?

Verse 4

With Thy prophets’ goodly line
We in mystic bond combine;
For Thou hast to babes revealed
Things that to the wise were sealed.

Verse 5

Martyrs, in a noble host,
Of Thy cross are heard to boast;
Since so bright the crown they wear,
Early we Thy cross would bear.

Verse 6

All Thy Church in heaven and earth,
Jesus, hail Thy spotless birth,
Own the God who all has made,
And the Spirit’s soothing aid.

Verse 7

Offspring of a Virgin’s womb,
Slain, and Victor o’er the tomb,
Seated on the judgment-throne,
Number us among Thine own.
