Chorale Text
Lord God, Thee praise do we.
Lord, we give thanks to Thee.
Thee, Father, eternal God,
Earth praises, far and broad.
All angels and heaven’s host,
And all that in Thy service boast,
The cherubim and seraphim,
Sing Thee ever with lofty hymn:
Holy is our Lord God!
Holy is our Lord God!
Holy is our Lord God, the God of Sabaoth!
Thy godlike might and lordship go
Wide over heaven and earth below.
--George Macdonald, 1876
