==Lyrics (from The Cyber Hymnal™)==

Be thou, O God exalted high;<br />
And as Thy glory fills the sky,<br />
So let it be on earth displayed,<br />
Till Thou art here, as there, obeyed.<br />
<br />
O God, my heart is fixed; ’tis bent<br />
Its thankful tribute to present;<br />
And, with my heart, my voice I’ll raise<br />
To Thee, my God, in songs of praise.<br />
<br />
Thy praises, Lord, I will resound<br />
To all the listening nations round;<br />
Thy mercy highest heav’n transcends;<br />
Thy truth beyond the clouds extends.<br />
