verse 1 Glory to Thee, Thou Son of God most High, All praise to Thee! Glory to Thee, enthroned above the sky, Who died for me; High on Thy throne, Thine ear, Lord Jesus, bend As grateful hearts now to Thyself ascend.
verse 2 Deep were Thy sorrows, Lord, when heaven frowned —Gethsemane! Bloodlike Thy sweat, Lord, falling to the ground So heavily; Dark was the night, but heaven was darker still, O Christ my God!—is this the Father's will?
verse 3 Thorns wreathed Thy brow when hanging on the tree, Man's cruelty! Why lavish love like this, O Lord, on me? Thou lovest me! Would that my soul could understand its length, Its breadth, depth, height, and everlasting strength!
verse 4 Thy precious blood was freely shed for me On Calvary To save me from a lost eternity; Glory to Thee! Nor death, nor hell, nor things below—above Can sever me from Thy eternal love.
verse 5 Like shoreless seas, Thy love can know no bound; Thou lovest me! Deep, vast, immense, unfathomed, Lord—profound, Lord, I love Thee! And when above, my crown is at Thy feet, I'll praise Thee still for Calvary's mercy seat
