O Heavenly King, Look Down from Above

O heav­en­ly King

look down from ab­ove;

Assist us to sing Thy mer­cy and love.

So sweet­ly o’er­flow­ing

so plen­te­ous the store

Thou still art be­stow­ing

and giv­ing us more.

O God of our life

we hal­low Thy name

Our bu­si­ness and strife is Thee to pro­claim.

Accept our thanks­giv­ing for cre­at­ing grace;

The liv­ing

the liv­ing shall show forth Thy praise.

Our Fa­ther and Lord

al­migh­ty art Thou;

Preserved by Thy Word

we wor­ship Thee now;

The boun­ti­ful Do­nor of all we en­joy

Our tongues

to Thine hon­or

and lives we em­ploy.

But

oh

above all Thy kind­ness we praise

From sin and from thrall which saves the lost race;

Thy Son Thou hast giv­en the world to re­deem

And bring us to Heav­en whose trust is in Him.
