LyicsHAIL, God our Father, glorious King!
Hail, Jesus, Lord, of thee we sing:
Thy death, thy life, thy love shall be
Our anthem through eternity.
Ye glittering orbs around the skies,
That speak his glories in disguise;
Your silent circlings ne'er can tell
The wisdom of Immanuel.
Tall mountains that beset the sky,
With all the hills that round you lie,
While time endures, you ne'er can till
The grandeur of Immanuel.
Ye seas, tumultuous as you roar,
Whose billows bound from shore to shore,
Your thundering voices ne'er can tell
The power of our Immanuel.
Ye worlds on worlds, with all your throng
Through every clime extend your song:
Your thousand tongues would fail to tell
The love of our Immanuel.
His fame shall spread from pole to pole,
And glory roll from soul to soul;
The word of God alone shall tell
The glories of Immanuel.
