Be Thou exalted,
forever and ever,
God of eternity,
Ancient of Days!
Wondrous in majesty,
perfect in wisdom,
Glorious in holiness,
fearful in praise.
Be Thou exalted
by seraphs and angels,
Be Thou exalted
with harp and with song;
Saints in their anthems
of rapture adore Thee,
Martyrs the loud
hallelujahs prolong.
Be Thou exalted,
O Son of the Highest!
Gracious Redeemer,
our Savior and King!
One with the Father,
co-equal in glory,
Here at Thy footstool
our homage we bring.
Be Thou exalted
by seraphs and angels,
Be Thou exalted
with harp and with song;
Saints in their anthems
of rapture adore Thee,
Martyrs the loud
hallelujahs prolong.
Be Thou exalted,
O Spirit eternal!
Dwell in our hearts,
keep us holy within;
Lead to Thy home
in the life everlasting,
Open its portals
and welcome us in.
Be Thou exalted
by seraphs and angels,
Be Thou exalted
with harp and with song;
Saints in their anthems
of rapture adore Thee,
Martyrs the loud
hallelujahs prolong.
