34. Mighty God, while angels bless thee

1 Mighty God, while angels bless thee,
May an infant lisp thy name?
Lord of men as well as angels,
Thou art every creature’s theme.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.

2 Lord of every land and nation,
Ancient of eternal days!
Sounded through the wide creation
Be thy just and lawful praise:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.

3 For the grandeur of thy nature.
Grand beyond a seraph’s thought;
For created works of power,
Works with skill and kindness wrought;
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.

4 Brightness of thy Father’s glory,
Shall Thy praise unutter'd lie?
Fly, my tongue, such guilty silence!
Sing the Lord who came to die.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.

5 Did archangels sing thy coming?
Did the shepherds learn their lays?
Shame would cover me ungrateful,
Should my tongue refuse to praise.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.
