Trinity Hymnal ‎#5

5. Mighty God, while angels bless thee

1 Mighty God, while angels bless thee,
May a mortal sing thy Name?
Lord of men as well as angels,
Thou art ev'ry creature's theme.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.

2 Lord of ev'ry land and nation,
Ancient of eternal days,
Sounded through the wide creation
Be thy just and lawful praise.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.

3 For the grandeur of thy nature,
Grand beyond the seraph's thought;
For created works of power,
Works with skill and kindness wrought.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

4 But thy rich, thy free redemption,
Dark through brightness all along,
Thought is poor, and poor expression,
Who dare sing that awful song?
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.

5 Brightness of the Father's glory,
Shall thy praise unuttered lie?
Fly, my tongue, such guilty silence,
Sing the Lord who came to die:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.

6 From the highest throne in glory,
To the cross of deepest woe,
All to ransom guilty captives,
Flow my praise, for ever flow.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.

Amen.
