Maker, in Whom We Live

1.	Maker, in whom we live, 
	in whom we are and move, 
	the glory, power, and praise receive 
	for thy creating love.  
	Let all the angel throng 
	give thanks to God on high, 
	while earth repeats the joyful song 
	and echoes to the sky.

2.	Incarnate Deity, 
	let all the ransomed race 
	render in thanks their lives to thee 
	for thy redeeming grace.  
	The grace to sinners showed 
	ye heavenly choirs proclaim, 
	and cry, "Salvation to our God, 
	salvation to the Lamb!"

3.	Spirit of Holiness, 
	let all thy saints adore 
	thy sacred energy, and bless 
	thine heart-renewing power.  
	Not angel tongues can tell 
	thy love's ecstatic height, 
	the glorious joy unspeakable, 
	the beatific sight.

4.	Eternal, Triune God, 
	let all the hosts above, 
	let all on earth below record 
	and dwell upon thy love.  
	When heaven and earth are fled 
	before thy glorious face, 
	sing all the saints thy love hath made 
	thine everlasting praise.
