101. GOD’S EXALTATION

Previous
Next

​Author:  Ignaz Franz (1719-1790)
​Music Source:  Katholisches Gesangbuch, Vienna, Austria, 1776

1. Our great God, we praise Thee now,
    Lauding Thee with exultation;
    The whole earth before Thee bows
    And adores Thy great creation.
    As Thou, Lord, hast been of yore,
    Thou wilt stay forevermore.
 
2. Ev’rything shall sing Thy praise;
    Cherubim and seraphs’ voices
    Praise and honor to Thee raise.
    And the angel host rejoices,
    Calling ever without rest,
     “God, Thy holy name be blest!”
 
3. Great and small shall sing Thy praise
    Over all Thy great creation.
    To Thee, Father, God of grace,
    Sings the holy congregation,
    And we honor on His Throne,
    Lord, Thy dear, beloved Son.
 
4. And Thy church within the pow’r
    Of Thy Spirit’s inspiration
    Sings to Thee, our God and King;
    Thou our joy and consolation.
    We are ransomed by Thy blood,
    Baptized in the cleansing flood.
 
5. Thou, the Father’s only Son,
    Cam’st to give mankind redemption;
    From Thy throne Thou didst descend
    Here to make Thy habitation.
    Grace and mercy came from Thee,
    And from sin we now are free.
 
6. Open now is heaven’s gate;
    And our Saviour’s interceding
    Reconciles us unto God
    When in faith He hears our pleading.
    Fin’lly comes Thy Judgment day,
    Time and hour, we can not say.
 
7. Lord, protect Thy children all;
    Hear their humble supplication.
    Thou didst for our ransom, Lord,
    Bear the cross and tribulation.
    When our transient life is gone,
    Take us to our heav’nly home.
 
8. Graciously behold Thy flock;
    Help and bless Thy heirs forever.
    Lead us in Thy righteous paths;
    From the enemy deliver.
    Hear our earnest pray’r and plea:
    Lord, Thy coming we would see.

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
