Chorus

You our Lord are great o\'er all

And to you each one call

We shall worship, praise your name

You ever stay the same

 

Your name, O Lord, excellent

You us good things have sent

Your glory great, and honour due

Creator God, to you

Chorus

 

All in the earth, sea, sky, seen

You have made all, not mean

But all show of your making sure

We praise you and adore

Chorus

 

And so great God, my thoughts be

You look on man, him see

Crown him with honour, glory

Redeem, and set him free

Chorus

 

Dominion you to man give

That he should work and live

Tend your creatures lovingly

Care-taking destiny

Chorus

 

Given rule o\'er all you made

Your beauteous works displayed

Grant mankind power to serve

You faithfully, ne\'er swerve

Chorus

 

Ne\'er swerve from devotion strong

Honour you all day long

Praise your name, join angel throng

Ne\'er ceasing joyful song

Chorus
