It Is a Comely Thing

¹It is a comely thing
To glorify and praise
Our God, the Everlasting Word,
And Lord of endless days.

²The trembling cherubim
Before Him fold their wings,
And all the heavenly hosts adore
The mighty King of kings.

³We would our offering give,
O Christ, to Thee we pray,
For Thou didst break the bands of death
When dawned the glorious day.

⁴To Thee, Thou Three in One,
Ascend our songs divine;
One power, one kingdom without end,
And one dominion Thine.

⁵O Christ, the source of light,
With light my soul inspire;
Come, make my heart the bright abode
Of Thy celestial fire.
