Glorious Lord

Glorious Lord

Hail to you, glorious Lord!
May church and chancel praise you,
May chancel and church praise you,
May plain and hillside praise you,
May the three springs praise you,
Two higher than the wind and one above the earth,
May darkness and light praise you,
May the cedar and the fruit-tree praise you.
Abraham praised you, the founder of faith,
May life everlasting praise you,
May the birds and beasts praise you
May the stubble and the grass praise you.
Aaron and Moses praised you,
May male and female praise you,
May the seven days and the stars praise you,
May the lower and the upper air praise you,
May books and letters praise you,
May the sand and the earth praise you,
May all good things created praise you,
And I too shall praise you, Lord of glory,
Hail to you, glorious Lord.
