Lyrics

God, we praise you, Lord, we bless you. We acknowledge you as Lord.
You, the Father everlasting, Be eternally adored.
Angels sin,g all heav'n rejoices, Cherubim and Seraphim,
Join the choir of heavenly voices In the never ending hymn.

Holy, Holy, You are Holy, God of Glory, Lord of Might.
Earth and heaven extol your glory, Majesty of Highest Height.
Martyrs, prophets, Saints, Apostles, All the church does worship You.
Father, Christ the King of Glory, Spirit, who makes all things new.

Christ, you came and lived among us, Humbly of a virgin born.
Grave and Death You have defeated. Heavn'n was opened Easter Morn.
On the throne of God you are seated, You will come and be our Judge.
Count us as your saints before you, Redeemed by your precious blood.

Let your mercy fall upon us, In you, Lord our trust we place.
Rule our hearts and minds forever, Lift us while we run the race.
Guard us, guide us, and protect us. Keep us free from sin, we pray.
Day by day we magnify you, You we worship and obey. Amen.
