Fifth Sunday after Easter
From Hymns of Love and Praise (1866)
Let us bow in rev'rence wait
On the Lord, for He is great;
Great, and good, and kind is He,
God through all eternity!
Let us lie, as children should,
Li His arms, for He is good;
Great, and good, and kind is He,
God through all eternity!
Let us, with contented mind.
Praise His Name, for He is kind;
Great, and good, and kind is He,
God through all eternity!
Let us in His strength arise,
Do His will, for He is wise;
Great, good, kind, and wise is He,
God through all eternity!
To the Father, and the Son,
And the Spirit, Three in One,
Praise for ever offered be,
God through all eternity!
