Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) ‎#33

33. Thee we adore, eternal Lord!

1 Thee we adore, eternal Lord!
We praise Thy name with one accord;
Thy saints, who here Thy goodness see,
Through all the world do worship Thee.

2 To Thee aloud all angels cry,
And ceaseless raise their songs on high,
Both cherubim and seraphim,
The heavens and all the powers therein.

3 The apostles join the glorious throng;
The prophets swell the immortal song;
The martyrs' noble army raise
Eternal anthems to Thy praise.

4 Thee, holy Prophet, Priest, and King!
Thee, Saviour of mankind they sing:
Thus earth below, and heaven above,
Resound Thy glory and Thy love.
