Lyrics

From glo­ry to glo­ry ad­vanc­ing, we praise thee, O Lord;
Thy name with the Fa­ther and Spir­it be ev­er ad­ored.

From strength un­to strength we go for­ward on Si­on’s high­way,
To ap­pear be­fore God in the city of in­fin­ite day.

Thanksgiving, and glo­ry and wor­ship, and bless­ing and love,
One heart and one song have the saints up­on earth and ab­ove.

Evermore, O Lord, to Thy ser­vants Thy pre­sence be nigh;
Ever fit us by ser­vice on earth for Thy ser­vice on high.
