Meet and Right It Is to Sing

Meet and right it is to sing

In ev­ery time and place

Glory to our heav’n­ly king

The God of truth and grace:

Join we then with sweet accord

All in one thanks­giv­ing join

Holy

ho­ly

ho­ly Lord

Eternal praise be Thine!

Thee

the first-born sons of light

In chor­al sym­pho­nies

Praise by day

day with­out night

And nev­er

nev­er cease:

Angels and arch­an­gels all

Praise the mys­tic Three in One;

Sing

and stop

and gaze

and fall

O’erwhelmed be­fore Thy throne.

Vying with that hap­py choir

Who chant Thy praise ab­ove

We on ea­gles’ wings as­pire

The wings of faith and love;

Thee they sing with glo­ry crowned

We ex­tol the slaugh­tered Lamb;

Lower if our voic­es sound

Our sub­ject is the same.

Father God

Thy love we praise

Which gave Thy Son to die;

Jesus

full of truth and grace

Alike we glo­ri­fy;

Spirit

Com­fort­er di­vine

Praise by all to Thee be giv’n;

Till we in full chor­us join

And earth is turned to Heav­en.
