Poem Words (three verses)
1.
Holy Majesty, before you
We bow to worship and adore you!
With grateful hearts to you we sing!
Earth and heaven tell the story
Of your eternal might and glory,
And all your works their incense bring.
Lo, hosts of cherubim
And countless seraphim
Sing hosanna!
Holy is God, almighty God,
All-merciful and all-wise God!
2.
God of light, exalted, holy!
Your tender care protects the lowly,
Leaves not your children to their fate.
You are gracious, God, our Father;
Your chosen people still you gather
Within your arms compassionate.
You gave us Christ, your Son,
Through whom your grace is won;
And your Spirit
Will dwell within to cleanse from sin
The ones your Son has died to win.
3.
Bless us, Lord, and keep us ever;
Reveal your face and show your favor;
Upon your people smile with peace.
Here we sing our hymns, rejoicing,
Until in heav'n we shall be voicing
Your praise in strains that never cease;
Where hosts of cherubim
And countless seraphim
Sing hosanna!
Holy is God, almighty God,
All-merciful and all-wise God!
