Creator of the World, to Thee (EN 1828)

EN 1828 Creator of the World, to Thee

Ps.137.4

Versi Version 1

1

Creator of the world, to Thee

And endless rest of joy belongs;

And heavenly choirs are ever free

To sing on high their festal songs.

2

But we are fallen creatures here,

Where pain and sorrow daily come;

And how can we in exile drear

Sing out, as they, sweet songs of Home?

3

O Father, who dost promise still

That they who mourn shall blessed be,

Grant us to weep for deeds of ill

That banish us so long from Thee.

4

But weeping, grant us faith to rest

In hope upon Thy loving care;

Till Thou restore us, with the blest,

Their songs of praise in Heav’n to share.

5

To Father, Son and Holy Ghost,

The God Whom Heav’n and earth adore,

From men and from the angel host

Be praise and glory evermore.
