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.

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