MESSIAH. 7. D. Louis Joseph Ferdinand Herold. (1791-1833.) 1830. Arr. by George Kingsley (1811-) 1838. I. GOD eternal, Lord of all, Low-ly at Thy feet we fall, All the earth doth worship Thee; "Singing everlastingly." 2 Since by Thee were all things made, And in Thee do all things live, Be to Thee all honor paid; Praise to Thee let all things give, Singing everlastingly To the Blessed Trinity. 3 Thousands, tens of thousands, stand, Spirits blest, before the throne, Speeding thence at Thy command, And, when Thy commands are done, Singing everlastingly To the Blessed Trinity. 4 Cherubim and Seraphim Veil their faces with their wings; Eyes of angels are too dim To behold the King of kings, 5 Thee apostles, prophets Thee, Thee, the Church in every land, To the Blessed Trinity. 6 Hallelujah! Lord, to Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; To the Blessed Trinity. Bp. Christopher Wordsworth. (1807-) 1862. ab. "Lord of Hosts, the Lord most High." 2 Glory be to Him who loved us, 4 With His seraph train before Him, With His holy Church below, Thus conspire we to adore Him, Bid we thus our anthem flow: 5 "Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven, Earth is with its fulness stored: Unto Thee be glory given, Holy, holy, holy, Lord!” 6 Thus Thy glorious name confessing, We adopt the angels' cry, Holy, holy, holy! blessing Thee the Lord of Hosts most high. Washed us from each spot and stain; Glory, glory, glory, glory, To the Lamb that once was slain! 3 Glory to the King of angels, Glory to the Church's King, Heaven and earth, your praises bring: To the King of glory bring! Bp. Richard Mant. (1776-1848.) 1837. ab. 4 Glory, blessing, praise eternal! DOXOLOGY. PRAISE the Father, earth, and heaven, Praise the Son, the Spirit praise; As it was, and is, be given Glory, through eternal days. Unknown Author. 1827. Thus the choir of angels sings; Glory, glory, glory, glory, Rev. Horatius Bonar. (1808-) 1806. 2 Lord, with sin-bound souls Thou bearest, Struggling towards this strain divine; Glad on mortal lips Thou hearest 3 Shall we, Lord, meet voices never Of Thy pure-lipped Seraphim: Hark! their own high strain we bring Thee; Listen to the full accord! Sweet the song we ever sing Thee, "Holy, holy, holy Lord!" For we have no help but Thee; : Yet possessing every blessing, If our God our Father be. :|| 2 Saviour, breathe forgiveness o'er us; All our weakness Thou dost know; Thou didst tread this earth before us; Thou didst feel its keenest woe; : Lone and dreary, faint and weary, Through the desert Thou didst go. : 3 Spirit of our God, descending, Fill our hearts with heavenly joy, Love with every passion blending, Pleasure that can never cloy; : Thus provided, pardoned, guided, Nothing can our peace destroy. :|| James Edmeston. (1791-1867.) 1820. DOXOLOGY. GREAT Jehovah, we adore Thee, God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit, joined in glory On the same eternal throne: : Endless praises, endless praises To Jehovah, Three in One. :|| Rev. William Gcode. (1762-1816.) 1811. alt "Lord of Hosts, the Lord most High." 2 Glory be to Him who loved us, 4 With His seraph train before Him, With His holy Church below, Thus conspire we to adore Him, Bid we thus our anthem flow: 5 "Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven, Earth is with its fulness stored: Unto Thee be glory given, Holy, holy, holy, Lord!" 6 Thus Thy glorious name confessing, We adopt the angels' cry, Holy, holy, holy! blessing Thee the Lord of Hosts most high.
