Lyics

HEAVENLY Father, Sovereign Lord,

Be thy glorious name adored!

Lord, thy mercies never fail;

Hail celestial goodness, hail!



Though unworthy, Lord, thine ear,

Deign our humble songs to hear;

Purer praise we hope to bring,

When around thy throne we sing.



There with angels' harps again,

We will make a nobler strain;

There in joyful songs of praise,

Our triumphant voices raise.
