As we view the vast creation, Planned with wondrous skill, So our minds would move to worship, And be still. | |

But, our God, how great Thy yearning To have sons who love In Thy house e'en now to praise Thee, Then above! | |

'Twas Thy thought in revelation, To present to men Secrets of Thine own affections, Theirs to win. | |

So in Christ, through His redemption (Vanquished evil powers!), Thou hast brought, in new creation, Worshippers! | |

Glory be to God the Father, And to Christ the Son, Glory to the Holy Spirit -- Ever One. | |
