1 Mighty God, while angels bless you,
May a mortal sing your Name?
Lord of men as well as angels,
You are every creature’s theme.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.

2 Lord of every land and nation,
Ancient of eternal days.
Sounded through the wide creation
Be your just and endless praise.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.

3 For the grandeur of your nature,
Grand beyond a seraph’s thought;
For created works of power,
Works with skill and kindness wrought.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.

4 But your rich, your free redemption,
Dark through brightness all along,
Thought is poor, and poor expression,
Who dare sing that wondrous song?
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.

5 Brightness of the Father’s glory,
Shall your praise unuttered lie?
Fly, my tongue, such guilty silence,
Sing the Lord who came to die.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.

6 From the highest throne in glory
To the cross of deepest woe,
All to ransom guilty captives;
Flow my praise, forever flow!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.
