177. To God on High

1 To God on high be thanks and praise
For mercy ceasing never,
Whereby no foe a hand can raise,
Nor harm can reach us ever;
With joy to Him our hearts ascend,
The source of peace that knows no end,
A peace that none can sever.

2 The honors paid Thy holy name
To hear Thou ever deignest;
Thou, God the Father, still the same
Unshaken ever reignest;
Unmeasured stands Thy glorious might;
Thy thoughts, Thy deeds, outstrip the light;
Thou, Lord, our heav’n remainest.

3 O Jesus Christ, our God and Lord,
Son of Thy heavenly Father,
O Thou who hast our peace restored,
And Thy lost sheep doth gather—
Thou Lamb of God, to Thee on high,
From out our depths we sinners cry,
Have mercy on us, Jesus.
