Glorious and Powerful God Songtext

von Wells Cathedral Choir

Glorious and powerful God, we understand Thy dwelling is on high,
Above the starry sky.
Thou dwell'st not in stone temples made with hands,
But in the flesh hearts of the sons of men
To dwell is thy delight,
Near hand though out of sight.

We give of thine own hand, thy acceptation
Is very life and blood
To all actions good:
Whenever here or hence our supplication
From pure and with unfeigned hearts to thee ascend,
Be present with thy grace,
Show us thy loving face.

O down on us full showers of mercy send;
Let thy love's burning beams
Dry up all our sin's streams.
Arise, O Lord, and come into thy rest.
Both now and evermore thy Name be blest:
Founder and foundation
Of endless habitation.
