Eternal God! Almighty Cause
Of earth, and seas, and worlds unknown!
All things are subject to Thy laws;
All things depend on Thee alone.
Thy glorious being singly stands,
Of all within itself possessed;
By none controlled in Thy commands,
And in Thyself completely blessed.
Worship to Thee alone belongs,
Worship to Thee alone we give;
Thine be our hearts, and Thine our songs,
And to Thy glory may we live.
O, spread Thy truth through every land,
In every heart Thy love be known;
Subdue the world to Thy command,
And, as Thou art, Reign God alone.
To thee alone ourselves we owe;
To thee alone our homage pay;
All other gods we disavow,
Deny their claims, renounce their sway.
---Alternative verses---
Thy glorious being singly stands,
Of all within itself possessed;
Controlled by none are thy commands,
Thou from thyself alone art blest.
Spread thy great name through heathen lands;
Their idol deities dethrone;
Reduce the world to thy commands;
And reign as thou art, God alone.
Worship to Thee alone belongs,
Worship to Thee alone we give;
Thine be our hearts, and Thine our songs,
And to Thy glory would we live.
