O God beyond all praising,

we worship you today

and sing the love amazing

that songs cannot repay

for we can only wonder

at every gift you send,

at blessings without number

and mercies without end

we lift our hearts before you

and wait upon your word,

we honor and adore you,

our great and mighty Lord.

The flower of earthly splendour

in time must surely die,

its fragile bloom surrender

to you the Lord most high

but hidden from all nature

the eternal seed is sown

though small in mortal stature,

to heaven's garden grown

for Christ the Man from heaven

from death has set us free,

and we through him are given

the final victory

Then hear, O gracious Savior,

accept the love we bring,

that we who know your favor

may serve you as our king

and whether our tomorrows

be filled with good or ill,

we'll triumph through our sorrows

and rise to bless you still

to marvel at your beauty

and glory in your ways,

and make a joyful duty

our sacrifice of praise.
