Full Lyrics
[ALL]
O God, beyond all praising,
we worship you today
and sing the love amazing
that songs cannot repay;
for we can only wonder
at ev'ry gift you send,
at blessings without number
and mercies without end:
we lift our hearts before you
and wait upon your word,
we honor and adore you,
our great and mighty Lord.
[CHOIR ONLY]
The flow'r of earthly splendor
in time must surely die,
its fragile bloom surrender
to you, the Lord most high;
but hidden from all nature
the eternal seed is sown
though small in mortal stature,
to heaven's garden grown:
for Christ the man from heaven
from death has set us free,
and we through Him are given
the final victory.
[SOPRANO DESCANT]
Then hear, O gracious Savior,
accept the love we bring,
that we who know your favor
may serve you as our King;
and whether tomorrows be filled with good or ill,
we'll triumph through our sorrows
and rise to praise you still:
to marvel at your beauty
and glory in your ways,
and make a joyful duty
our sacrifice of praise.
