O God! through Christ we sing
Glory to Thee;
In His blest Name we bring
Glory to Thee.
His heavenly face displays
All Thy refulgent rays,
And wakes the hymn of praise,
“ Glory to Thee!”
He gave, when here on earth,
Glory to Thee;
The song that hail’d His birth,
“ Glory to Thee!”
The wondrous works He wrought,
The precious truths He taught,
His holy footsteps brought
Glory to Thee.
On Calv’rys cross He gave
Glory to Thee;
Won, from the vanquish’d grave,
Glory to Thee.
Exalted now, and crown’d,
Him countless hosts surround,
And swell the lofty sound,
Glory to Thee.
With joy we strike the chord,
Glory to Thee;
Ascribe, through Christ, the Lord,
Glory to Thee.
To Jesus’ Name, shalt Thou
Constrain all knees to bow,
The Name we worship now,
Glory to Thee!
