Glorious is Thy name, O Lord!
Heav’n and earth with one accord
Tell Thy greatness, part revealed
But the larger part concealed
How shall we poor singers dare
Seek Thy face in praise and prayer?
Fearful is Thy name, O Lord!
Dread Thy voice and sharp Thy sword
Thunders roll around Thy path
None can stand before Thy wrath!
How shall trembling sinners dare
Lift their voice in praise and prayer?
Yet with all Thy wondrous might
Far beyond our mortal sight
Perfect wisdom, boundless powers
Thou, O glorious God! art ours
So, though filled with awe, we dare
Name Thy name in praise and prayer
Since, to save a world undone
Thou didst give Thine only Son
All Thy greatness, Lord Most High
Brings Thee to our hearts more nigh
Thus in faith and hope we dare
Claim Thy love in praise and prayer
Thus in faith and hope we dare
Claim Thy love in praise and prayer
