Lyrics
Sovereign Lord we sing your glory
yours is the eternal throne.
Majesty and awesome power
flow from God and God alone.
Far above the earth’s small circle
you embrace infinity;
reigning, mighty, over all things,
glorious Holy Trinity
Sovereign Lord, we sing your praises
for, though sinners, we rejoice;
knowing this, that where your grace is
man is bound to lift his voice.
Full forgiveness, total pardon
stream from Heaven to helpless men,
setting free from sin’s dominion
calling us to live again.
Sovereign Lord, show us your glory,
give us eyes to pierce the veil;
eyes to see transcendent beauty –
God the Lord who cannot fail.
Draw us closer by your Spirit
’til our hearts can bear no more.
Gracious, patient, loving, faithful –
Lord, your glory we adore.
Sovereign Lord, restore your glory,
sovereign Lord, the darkness lift;
take us out to tell the story
of our Lord’s stupendous gift.
Fill our hearts until there blazes
holy love, to save, to heal –
sovereign Lord, come down in power,
holy glory now reveal.
