O God beyond all praising,\nwe worship you today\nand sing the love amazing\nthat songs cannot repay;\nfor we can only wonder\nat every gift you send,\nat blessings without number\nand mercies without end.\nWe lift our hearts before you\nand wait upon your Word,\nwe honor and adore you,\nour great and mighty Lord.\n\n2 The flower of earthly splendor\nin time must surely die,\nits fragile bloom surrender\nto you, the Lord most high;\nbut hidden from all nature\nthe eternal seed is sown -\nthough small in mortal stature,\nto heaven’s garden grown:\nfor Christ, your gift from heaven,\nfrom death has set us free,\nand we through him are given\nthe final victory.\n\n3 Then hear, O gracious Savior,\naccept the love we bring,\nthat we who know your favor\nmay serve you as our King;\nand whether our tomorrows\nbe filled with good or ill,\nwe’ll triumph through our sorrows\nand rise to bless you still:\nto marvel at your beauty\nand glory in your ways,\nand make a joyful duty\nour sacrifice of praise.
