1. A hymn of glory let us sing, new hymns throughout the world shall ring; by a new way none ever trod Christ takes his place—the throne of God!
2. You are a present joy, O Lord; you will be ever our reward; and great the light in you we see to guide us to eternity.
3. O risen Christ, ascended Lord, all praise to you let earth accord, who are, while endless ages run, with Father and with Spirit, One.
