Songtext von Be Thou, o God, Exalted High

Be thou, O God exalted high; And as Thy glory fills the sky, So let it be on earth displayed, Till Thou art here, as there, obeyed. O God, my heart is fixed; 'tis bent Its thankful tribute to present; And, with my heart, my voice I'll raise To Thee, my God, in songs of praise. Thy praises, Lord, I will resound To all the listening nations round; Thy mercy highest heav'n transcends; Thy truth beyond the clouds extends.
