Glory be to your name, Sovereign Lord (Te Deum)
A hymn based on the Te Deum
1 Glory be to your name, Sovereign Lord,
by creation forever adored;
angel voices unceasingly call
God the Holy One, high over all !
2 Prophets, martyrs, apostles combine,
singing praises to you, Lord divine;
from eternity Father and Son,
with the Spirit, three persons in one.
3 King of glory O Christ, yet on Earth
from a virgin was your humble birth.
You were slain to release us from sin,
open Heaven and welcome us in.
4 By your Father now seated, you reign,
and as judge you will come back again.
Help your blood-redeemed servants, we pray:
may they rise up in glory that day.
5 Day by day let our worship ascend,
may our anthems of praise never end.
Grant us grace to stay faithful and true,
Lord, have mercy: our hope is in you !
