Fairest Lord Jesus

Mighty God, While Angels Bless Thee

Lord of earth as well as angels, thou art ev'ry creature’s theme; Lord of ev'ry land and nation, Ancient of Eternal Days, sounded through the wide creation be thy just and endless praise. 2 For the grandeur of your nature, grand beyond a seraph’s thought; for the wonders of creation, works with skill and kindness wrought; for thy providence that gtoverns through thine empire's wide domain, wings an angel, guides a sparrow: blessed by thy gentle reign. 4 But thy rich, thy free redemption, dark through brightness all along; thought is poor, and poor expression: who dare sing that wondrous song? Brightness of the Father’s glory, shall thy praise unuttered lie? Break, my tongue, such guilty silence; sing the Lord who came to die. 4 From the highest throne of glory to the cross of deepest woe, all to ransom guilty captives! Flow my praise, forever flow Go, return, immortal Savior; leave thy footstool, claim thy throne; thence return, and reign forever; be the kingdom all thine own! Used With Tune: RUSTINGTON
