Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #222b (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: CPWI Hymnal Lyrics: 1 O God, we praise thee, and confess
that thou the only Lord
and everlasting Father art,
by all the earth adored.
2 To thee all angels cry aloud;
to thee the powers on high,
both cherubim and seraphim,
continually do cry:
3 O holy, holy, holy Lord,
whom heavenly hosts obey,
the world is with the glory filled
of thy majestic sway!
4 The apostles' glorious company
and prophets crowned with light,
with all the martyrs' noble host,
thy constant praise recite.
5 The holy church in faith acclaims
thy Son who for us died,
also the Holy Comforter
our advocate and guide.
*6 Thou art the King of glory, Christ,
the everlasting Son;
humbly thou cam'st to set us free,
nor Virgin womb didst shun.
*7 When thou hadst overcome death's sting
and opened heaven's door,
thou didst ascend to God's right hand
in glory evermore.
*8 When thou shalt come to be our judge,
bring us whom thou hast bought
to dwell on high with all thy saints
in joy surpassing thought. Topics: General Hymns God the Father Languages: English Tune Title: NATIVITY
