Our Father, God, and King!
Thy sovereign goodness we record,
Thy glorious power we sing.
2 By thee the victory is given:
The majesty divine,
Wisdom and might, and earth and heaven,
And all therein, are thine.
3 The kingdom, Lord, is thine alone,
Who dost thy right maintain,
And, high on thy eternal throne,
O'er men and angels reign.
4 Riches, as seemeth good to thee,
Thou dost, and honor give;
And kings their power and dignity
Out of thy hand receive.
5 Thou hast on us the grace bestowed,
Thy greatness to proclaim;
And therefore now we thank our God,
And praise thy glorious name.
6 Thy glorious name, thy nature's powers,
Thou dost to us make known;
And all the deity is ours,
Through thy incarnate Son. Topics: Attributes of God Goodness; Wisdom and Goodness Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:11-12
Blest be our everlasting Lord
