O God Beyond All Praising

O God Beyond All Praising Often, I am asked about my favorite hymn so here it is. The words, while rather simplistic, are quite moving and meaningful and the tune is probably recognizable from a section from Gustav Holst's, The Planets (Jupiter), the part that begins about 3 minutes into the movement of Jupiter. The tune is also that of 'I Vow to Thee, My Country.' O God beyond all praising O God beyond all praising, we worship you today and sing the love amazing that songs cannot repay; for we can only wonder at every gift you send, at blessings without number and mercies without end: we lift our hearts before you and wait upon your word, we honor and adore you, our great and mighty Lord. Then hear, O gracious Savior, accept the love we bring, that we who know your favor may serve you as our king; and whether our tomorrows be filled with good or ill, we'll triumph through our sorrows and rise to bless you still: to marvel at your beauty and glory in your ways, and make a joyful duty our sacrifice of praise.
