1. Mighty God, while angels bless thee, | |||
May an infant lisp thy name? | |||
Lord of men as well as angels, | |||
Thou art every creature's theme. | |||
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. | |||
2. Lord of every land and nation, | |||
Ancient of eternal days! | |||
Sounded through the wide creation | |||
Be thy just and lawful praise. | |||
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. | |||
3. For the grandeur of thy nature, | |||
Grand beyond a seraph's thought, | |||
For created works of power, | |||
Works with skill and kindness wrought. | |||
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.}} | |||

4. For thy providence that governs | |||
Through thine empire's wide domain; | |||
Wings an angel, guides a sparrow, | |||
Blessed be thy gentle reign. | |||
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. | |||
5. But thy rich, thy free redemption, | |||
Dark through brightness all along; | |||
Thought is poor, and poor expression, | |||
Who dare sing that awful song? | |||
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. | |||
6. Brightness of the Father's glory, | |||
Shall thy praise unuttered lie? | |||
Fly, my tongue, such guilty silence! | |||
Sing the Lord who came to die. | |||
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.}} | |||

7. Did archangels sing thy coming? | |||
Did the shepherds learn their lays? | |||
Shame would cover me ungrateful, | |||
Should my tongue refuse to praise. | |||
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. | |||
8. From the highest throne in glory. | |||
To the cross of deepest woe, | |||
All to ransom guilty captives, | |||
Flow my praise, forever flow. | |||
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen. | |||
9. Go return, immortal Savior, | |||
Leave thy footstool, take thy throne; | |||
Thence return, and reign forever | |||
Be the kingdom all thine own. | |||
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.}} | |||
