God Eternal Lord of All

{God Eternal Lord of All

ONIDO-Ignace J. Pleyel

God Eternal, Lord of All
}
God eternal, Lord of all!
Lowly at thy feet we fall:
All the world doth worship thee;
We amidst the throng would be.

All the holy angels cry,
Hail, thrice-holy, God most high!
Lord of all the heavenly powers,
Be the same loud anthem ours.

Glorified apostles raise,
Night and day, continual praise;
Hast thou not a mission too
For thy children here to do?

With the prophets' goodly line
We in mystic bond combine;
For thou hast to babes revealed
Things that to the wise were sealed.

Martyrs, in a noble host,
Of thy cross are heard to boast;
Since so bright the crown they wear,
We with them thy cross would bear.

All thy church, in heaven and earth,
Jesus! hail thy spotless birth;
Seated on the judgment-throne,
Number us among thine own!
