Be thou exalted, O my God,
Above the heavens where angels dwell
Thy power on earth be known abroad,
And land to land thy wonders tell.
My heart is fixed; my song shall raise
Immortal honours to thy name:
Awake, my tongue, to sound his praise,
My tongue, the glory of my frame.
High o'er the earth his mercy reigns,
And reaches to the utmost sky;
His truth to endless years remains,
When lower worlds dissolve and die.
Be thou exalted, O my God,
Above the heavens where angels dwell;
Thy power on earth be known abroad,
And land to land thy wonders tell.
---Alternative verses---
My heart is fixed; my song shall raise
Immortal honours to his name:
Awake, my tongue, to sound his praise,
His wondrous goodness to proclaim.
