Glorious is Thy name, O Lord!
Heav’n and earth with one ac­cord
Tell Thy great­ness, part re­vealed,
But the larg­er part con­cealed.
How shall we poor sing­ers dare
Seek Thy face in praise and pray­er?

Fearful is Thy name, O Lord!
Dread Thy voice and sharp Thy sword;
Thunders roll around Thy path;
None can stand be­fore Thy wrath!
How shall trem­bling sin­ners dare
Lift their voice in praise and pray­er?

Yet with all Thy won­drous might
Far bey­ond our mor­tal sight,
Perfect wis­dom, bound­less pow­ers,
Thou, O glo­ri­ous God! art ours.
So, though filled with awe, we dare
Name Thy name in praise and pray­er.

Since, to save a world un­done,
Thou didst give Thine on­ly Son,
All Thy great­ness, Lord Most High,
Brings Thee to our hearts more nigh.
Thus in faith and hope we dare
Claim Thy love in praise and pray­er.
