o lord all glorious life of life

o lord, all glorious, life of life!
to thee we raise our grateful song;
lift up our souls from thoughts of self
to thee, to whom all lives belong.

below all depths thy mercy lies,
above all heights thy love ascends;
thy providence our path surrounds,
thy watchful care each step attends.

from thee all good desires proceed,
all holy thoughts we gain from thee;
the good we do is thine alone,
thine shall our heart’s thanksgiving be.
