We bless the Triune God of
Might,
Our Sovereign and our
Savior,
Who puts our enemies to
flight,
And guards us with His
favor!
Our song goes up to Him,
Above the seraphim,
Where awestruck angels gaze
At Him, Ancient of Days,
On high He reigns, exalted.
Majestic Father, ever
supreme,
Alone in light and glory,
At Your command the heavens
gleam
And sing creation’s story.
The wind and waves obey
When Your Word bids them
stay;
All nature shows Your face
Revealed in every place,
To every heart and mind of
man.
Jesus, the Christ,
Anointed One,
Firstborn of all creation,
In human flesh, yet God the
Son,
The Captain of Salvation!
My Righteousness You are!
’Tis written in the scars
That beautify Your face,
Proclaiming holy grace.
In You all truth and love
abide.
Great Spirit of the
living Lord,
Our Comforter and faithful
Guide—
You bring to us God’s
out-breathed Word,
Suffusing it with increate
light.
Convict us of our sin!
Renew our hearts within!
Restore salvation’s joy!
Our hearts and minds employ
In lives that flame with
God-endued fire!
Robed in pure light that
knew no dawn,
Three Persons, yet One
Essence,
Avenging sin with righteous
sword drawn,
Yet mercy fills Your
presence!
Your wrath is great, and
just;
But in Your grace we trust!
Your lovingkindness sure
Will hold our souls secure,
’Til we behold Your face at
last!
