Hymnal: Laudes Domini #344 (1884) First Line: Jesus is God! The glorious bands Lyrics: 1 Jesus is God! The glorious bands
Of holy angels sing
Song of adoring praise to him,
Their Maker and their King.
He was true God in Bethlehem's crib,
On Calvary's cross true God
He who in heaven eternal reigned,
In time on earth abode.
2 Jesus is God! Oh, could I now
But compass land and sea,
To teach and tell this single truth,
How happy should I be!
Oh, had I but an angel's voice,
I would proclaim so loud,--
Jesus, the good, the beautiful,
Is everlasting God!
3 Jesus is God! If on the earth
This blessèd faith decays,
More tender must our love become,
More plentiful our praise.
We are not angels, but we may
Down in earth's corners kneel,
And multiply sweet acts of love,
And murmur what we feel.
4 Jesus is God! Let sorrow come,
And pain, and every ill;
All our worth while, for all are means
His glory to fulfill;
Worth while a thousand years of life,
To speak one little word,
If only by our faith we own
The Godhead of our Lord! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MATTHEW
