Verse 1

O HEAVENLY King, look down from above; Assist us to sing Thy mercy and love: So sweetly overflowing, so plenteous the store, Thou still art bestowing, and giving us more.

Verse 2

O God of our life, we hallow Thy name; Our business and strife is Thee to proclaim. Accept our thanksgiving for creating grace; The living, the living shall show forth Thy praise.

Verse 3

Our Father and Lord, almighty art Thou; Preserved by Thy word, we worship Thee now; The bountiful donor of all we enjoy, Our tongues, to Thine honour, and lives we employ.

Verse 4

But O above all Thy kindness we praise, Form sin and from thrall which saves the lost race; Thy Son Thou hast given the world to redeem, And bring us to heaven whose trust is in Him.

Verse 5

Wherefore of Thy love we sing and rejoice, With angels above we lift up our voice: Thy love each believer shall gladly adore, For ever and ever, when time is no more. Amen.
