1
All glory be to God on high,
Who hath our race befriended!
To us no harm shall now come nigh,
The strife at last is ended.
God showeth His good will to men,
And peace shall reign on earth again.
O thank Him for His goodness.
2
We praise, we worship Thee, we trust,
And give Thee thanks for ever,
O Father, that Thy rule is just
And wise, and changes never.
Thy boundless power o’er all things reigns,
And done is what Thy will ordains;
’Tis well Thou art our ruler.
3
O Jesus Christ, our God, and Lord,
Begotten of the Father,
O Thou who hast our peace restored,
And Thy lost sheep dost gather:
Thou Lamb of God, enthroned on high,
Behold our need, and hear our cry;
Have mercy on us, Jesus.
4
O Holy Ghost, Thou precious gift,
Thou Comforter unfailing,
Do Thou with power our souls uplift,
O’er Satan’s might prevailing.
Since Christ for us His blood hath shed,
Avert our woes and calm our dread;
We trust in Thee to save us. Amen
