XLI. ODE TO DEITY.
Not unto us, but unto Thee,
Be endless praises given,
In time and in eternity,
On earth, and then in heaven!
Be endless praises given,
In time and in eternity,
On earth, and then in heaven!
For Thou art worthy to be praised
By all that dwell above;
And saints on earth their songs have raised
For Thy redeeming love.
By all that dwell above;
And saints on earth their songs have raised
For Thy redeeming love.
Creative goodness speaks Thy power,
While nature shows Thy skill;
And ev'ry moment—ev'ry hour—
Proclaim Thy favour still.
While nature shows Thy skill;
And ev'ry moment—ev'ry hour—
Proclaim Thy favour still.

If angels worship God, their King,
And pay Him honours due,
Why should not Christians gladly sing
To their Creator too?
And pay Him honours due,
Why should not Christians gladly sing
To their Creator too?
Dear Lord! inspire our hearts anew,
To run the heavenly race—
With hope and happiness in view—
Until we see Thy face!
To run the heavenly race—
With hope and happiness in view—
Until we see Thy face!
