We Praise Your Holy Name, O Lord
1. We praise Your holy name, O Lord,
With songs of adoration.
O Father, by the world adored,
We shout in acclamation.
Lo, all the pow'rs of heav'n on high
And angel choirs aloud do cry
In exultation ringing.
2. The cherubim and seraphim
Sing "Holy, holy, holy!
The heav'ns and earth and all therein
Are full of Your great glory!"
Apostles, prophets praise Your name.
The martyr throng with great acclaim
With all the Church is singing.
3. O Father of all majesty;
Your only Son, our Savior;
O Holy Ghost: all praises be
To you, O God, forever.
Hail, glorious Christ! You are the King!
Your everlasting praise we sing,
O Son of God the Father.
4. You did not spurn the virgin's womb,
But bore humiliation.
You overcame the death and tomb
And won for us salvation.
By bearing sin's enormous weight
You opened wide the Kingdom's gate;
The faithful there will gather.
5. You sit alone at God's right hand,
The Father's glory sharing.
Before You, Christ, we all will stand,
Our sins and errors baring.
Oh holy Judge, to You we pray.
Preserve Your saints upon that Day
In glory everlasting.
6. We pray you, save Your people, Lord.
Preserve Your heirs and lead them.
Oh, keep Your people in Your Word
And with salvation feed them.
Keep us this day without offense.
Your mercy, gracious Lord, dispense.
Let us not be confounded.
