Hymnal for Church and Home (2nd ed.) ‎#255

255. Thee, God, We Praise

1 Thee, God, we praise, Thy name we bless,
Thee, Lord of all, we do confess;
The whole creation worships Thee,
The Father of eternity.

2 To Thee aloud all angels cry,
The heav'ns and all the powers on high,
The cherubs and the seraphs join,
And thus they hymn Thy praise divine.

3 O holy, holy, holy Lord,
Thou God, of hosts, by all adored;
Earth and the heav'ns are full of Thee,
Thy light, thy power, Thy majesty.

4 O God eternal, mighty King,
We unto Thee our praises bring;
And to Thy true and only Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One.
