EN 3768 Glory to God, Whose Sovereign Grace

Luke.3.8

Versi Version 1

1

Glory to God, whose sovereign grace

Hath animated senseless stones;

Called us to stand before His face,

And raised us into Abraham’s sons!

2

The people that in darkness lay,

In sin and error’s deadly shade,

Have seen a glorious gospel day,

In Jesus’ lovely face displayed.

3

Thou only, Lord, the work hast done,

And bared Thine arm in all our sight;

Hast made the reprobates Thine own,

And claimed the outcasts as Thy right.

4

Thy single arm, almighty Lord,

To us the great salvation brought,

Thy Word, Thy all-creating Word,

That spake at first the world from naught.

5

For this the saints lift up their voice,

And ceaseless praise to Thee is giv’n;

For this the hosts above rejoice,

We raise the happiness of Heav’n.

6

For this, no longer sons of night,

To Thee our thankful hearts we give;

To Thee, who called us into light,

To Thee we die, to Thee we live.

7

Suffice that for the season past

Hell’s horrid language filled our tongues,

We all Thy words behind us cast,

And lewdly sang the drunkard’s songs.

8

But, O the power of grace divine!

In hymns we now our voices raise,

Loudly in strange hosannas join,

And blasphemies are turned to praise!
