All Glory, Honor, Thanks, and Praise

Verse 1

All glory, honor, thanks, and praise to Christ our Lord and Savior, that still his church in these our days may know his boundless favor: for brothers and sisters united by love stand firm o'er the earth far extended, as countless more legions in heaven above extol how his grace them attended.

Verse 2

Yet, Lord, you summon us anew to grasp the task unfinished. Christ's saving word, forever true, must press on undiminished. O raise up still more, Savior God, in our day apostles to carry salvation so that its almighty and life-giving ray may brightly shine forth in each nation.
