Mighty God While Angels Bless Thee { Mighty God While Angels Bless Thee AUSTRIAN HYMN-Franz Joseph Haydn AUTUMN-Francois H. Barthelemon (arr. George Frede rick Root) Mighty God! While Angels Bless Thee } Mighty God! while angels bless thee, May a mortal lisp thy name? Lord of men, as well as angels! Thou art every creature's theme: Ancient of eternal days! Sounded through the wide creation, Be thy just and awful praise. For the grandeur of thy nature, Grand, beyond a seraph's thought; For the wonders of creation, Works with skill and kindness wrought; For thy providence, that governs Through thine empire's wide domain, Wings an angel, guides a sparrow; Blessed be thy gentle reign. For thy rich, thy free redemption, Bright, though veiled in darkness long; Thought is poor, and poor expression; Who can 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: From the highest throne of glory, To the cross of deepest woe, Came to ransom guilty captives! Flow, my praise! forever flow: Reascend, immortal Saviour! Leave thy footstool, take thy throne; Thence return and reign forever; Be the kingdom all thine own!
