Lyrics

God of eter­ni­ty, Sav­ior and king,
Help us to hon­or Thee, help while we sing;
Now may the clouds of night
Break into splen­dor bright,
Jesus, our life and light,
Our Lord and king!

God of eter­ni­ty, Ancient of Days,
Glorious in ma­jes­ty, au­thor of praise;
Hear Thou our ear­nest call,
While at Thy feet we fall,
Jesus, our all in all,
Our Lord and king!

God of eter­ni­ty, rul­er divine,
Strength of the migh­ty hills, all pow­er is Thine;
Boundless Thy reign shall be,
Wondrous Thy vic­to­ry,
Earth shall be filled with Thee,
Our Lord and king!

God of eter­ni­ty, love is Thy name,
God of the earth and sea, Thee we pro­claim;
Love, through Thine on­ly Son,
Thy work of grace hath done;
O bless­èd Three in One,
Our Lord and king!
