Be thou, o god, exalted high

Be thou, O God exalted high
And as Thy glory fills the sky,
So let it be on earth displayed,
Till Thou art here, as there, obeyed.

O God, my heart is fixed 'tis bent
Its thankful tribute to present
And, with my heart, my voice I'll raise
To Thee, my God, in songs of praise.

Thy praises, Lord, I will resound
To all the listening nations round
Thy mercy highest heav'n transcends
Thy truth beyond the clouds extends.
