Text:God the Father, Almighty Creator

H9. God the Father, Almighty Creator

1 Almighty God we praise, and own,
Thee our Creator, King alone;
All things were made to honour thee
O Father of eternity.

2 To thee all angels loudly cry,
The heav'ns and all the pow'rs on high,
Cherubs and seraphims proclaim,
And cry, thrice holy to thy name.

3 Lord God of hosts thy presence bright
Fills heav'n and earth with beauteous light;
Th' apostles happy company,
And antient prophets all praise thee.

4 The crowned martyrs noble host,
The holy church in every coast,
Their Maker for their Father own,
Now reconcil'd in Christ his Son.
