84. Lord God of Hosts

1 Lord God of hosts, we bless Thy name
In songs of adoration;
Thy mighty works Thy love proclaim
Throughout the wide creation;
The starry gems that crown the night,
The morning’s golden splendor,
The beauty that our eyes delight
For those our thanks we render.

Refrain:
Lord God of hosts, we bless Thy name,
For Thou art holy, wide and good, forevermore the same;
Lord God of hosts, we bless Thy name,
And to the world Thine everlasting love proclaim.

2 Lord God of hosts, we sing Thy praise
For ev’ry daily blessing;
For ev’ry joy that cheers our ways,
For hearts Thy peace possessing;
Far sweeter than angelic song,
The grand redemption story
For mercies that around us throng,
We sing Thy pow’r and glory. [Refrain]

3 Lord God of hosts, we see Thy love
Where Calv’ry’s stream is flowing;
From yonder cross, we look above,
Where living beams are glowing;
O hold us by Thy guiding hand,
And keep us Thine forever,
Until before Thy throne we stand
And worship Thee forever. [Refrain]
