Kjellstrand Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Holy Majesty, before Thee We bow to worship and adore Thee; With grateful hearts to Thee we sing. Earth and heaven tell the story Of Thine eternal might and glory, And all Thy works their incense bring. Lo, hosts of Cherubim And countless Seraphim Sing, Hosanna, Holy is God, almighty God, All-merciful and all-wise God! 2 God of light, exalted, holy! Thy tender care protects the lowly, Nor leaves Thy children to their fate. Gracious art Thou, God our Father, Thy chosen people Thou dost gather Within Thine arms compassionate. Thou gavest us Thy Son, Thro' whom Thy grace is won, And Thy Spirit Dwelleth within to cleanse from sin Whom thine own Son hath died to win. 3 Choirs of faithful voices name Thee, And all Thy chosen seed proclaim Thee, Most holy, holy, holy Lord. Hear Thy ransomed children praying That we may do Thy will, ne'er straying Away from Thee, nor from Thy Word. Vouchsafe to us Thy love, Thy wisdom from above; Grant us, Father, That in its light we walk aright In holiness as in Thy sight. 4 Bless and keep, O Lord, Thy creatures, Reveal to us Thy gracious features, O turn to us Thy face with peace. Here our songs we humbly tender Till glorified our tongues shall render To Thee our praise without surcease, Where hosts of Cherubim And countless Seraphim Sing, Hosanna, Holy is God, almighty God, All-merciful and all-wise God!
