LyicsGLORY to the Eternal King,
Clad in majesty supreme!
Let all heaven his praises sing,
Let all worlds his power proclaim.
Through eternity he reigns
In unbounded realms of light;
He the universe sustains,
As an atom in his sight.
Suns on suns through boundless space,
With their systems, move or stand,
Or to occupy their place,
New orbs rise at his command.
Kingdoms flourish--empires fall,
Nations live, and nations die,
All forms nothing, nothing all--
At the movement of his eye.
O let our transported souls
Ever on his glories gaze:
Ever yield to his control,
Ever sound his lofty praise!
