HAIL TO THE GLADDENING LIGHT of pure glory
We come rejoicing in You
Hail to the worthiest Holy of Holies
Let Your glory be ever known
Now in the comp’ny of all heav’ns angels
We join creation in song
To You who have covered the mountains with water
Let Your glory be ever known
Now our mouths we bless You
And our lives confess You
Christ hallowed on high
Hosanna evermore
Come for Your spirit has filled us with longing
That only You satisfy
Great are You Lord and Your wonders are countless
Let Your glory be ever known
Joy of the morning and life everlasting
Let Your love fill us afresh
For all we can give You is what You have given
Let Your Glory be ever known
Keith Getty & Margaret Becker
