Hymns of the Greek Church ‎#58

58. It is a comely thing

It is a comely thing
To glorify and praise
Our God, the Everlasting Word,
And Lord of endless days.

The trembling cherubim
Before Him fold their wings,
And all the heavenly hosts adore
The mighty King of kings.

We would our offering give,—
O Christ, to Thee we pray,
For Thou didst break the bands of death
When dawned the glorious day.

To Thee, Thou Three in One,
Ascend our songs divine;
One power, one kingdom without end,
And one dominion Thine.

O Christ, the source of light,
With light my soul inspire;
Come, make my heart the bright abode
Of Thy celestial fire.
