All Thy works, with one accord,
Magnify Thee, mighty Lord!
While the heavens Thy glory show,
Earth extols Thy love below.
|
|
Day to day doth utter speech,
Night to night Thy knowledge teach:
Nature's universal frame
Answers--"Hallow'd be Thy name."
|
|
Life, through all its breathing forms,
Death, from darkness, dust, and worms,
In ten thousand wondrous ways,
Fearfully set forth Thy praise.
|
|
Here, the lips of Infancy
Sweet Hosannas sing to Thee;
Youth and Age, in louder lays,
Joyful Hallellujahs raise.

While adoring Seraphim
Thine eternal Godhead hymn,
Saints redeem'd, with glory crown'd,
Calvary's cross, won triumphs sound.
|
|
May Thy Church from age to age,
In her house of pilgrimage,
Train for Thee her convert-throngs,
And thy statutes be their songs.
