Honor and Glory, Thanksgiving and Praise

 

 

VERSE 1

Honor and glory, thanksgiving and praise,

Maker of all things, to Thee we upraise;

God the Almighty, the Father, the Lord;

God by the angels obeyed and adored.

 

VERSE 2

Thou art the Father of Heaven and earth;

Worlds uncreated to Thee owe their birth;

All the creation, Thy voice when it heard,

Started to life and to light at Thy Word.

 

VERSE 3

Onward the sun and the moon and their march

Span with the rainbow the firmament’s arch;

Stars yet unknown, and whose light is to come,

Find in creation their place and a home.

 

VERSE 4

Earth with the mountain, the river, the plain,

Sky with the dew-drop, the wind, and the rain,

Beast of the forest, wild bird of the air,

All are Thy creatures, and all are Thy care.

 

VERSE 5

Ocean the restless, and waters that swell,

Lightnings that flash over flood, over fell,

Own Thee the Master Almighty, and call

Thee the Creator, the Father, of all.

 

VERSE 6

Yea, Thou art Father of all, and Thy love

Pity for man that is fallen doth move;

Guide us in life, and protect to the last;

And, at Thine Advent, Lord, pardon the past.
