Offertory Anthem All Glory Be to God on High
Text and tune (Allein Gott in der Höh): Nikolaus Decius, ca 1485- 1541;
Tr.. Catherine Winkworth (1829-1878)
All glory be to God on high, Who hath our race befriended! To us no harm shall now come nigh, The strife at last is ended. God showeth his good will to men, And peace shall reign on earth again; O thank him for His goodness! O Jesus Christ, our God and Lord, Begotten of the Father, Who hast our fallen race restored And straying sheep dost gather, Thour Lamb of God, enthroned on high, Behold our need, and hear our cry; Have mercy on us, Jesus! O Holy Spirit, precious Gift, Thou Comforter unfailing, Do thou our troubled souls uplift, Against the foe prevailing; Since Christ for us his blood hath shed, Avert our woes and calm our dread; We trust in thee to help us! Amen.
