Oh, Beautiful Glory Divine

Oh, beautiful Glory Divine
Your Majesty shines
Brightly as the sun
More spectacular than the morning.
Your Name forever raised
Upon my lips.
None other sustains my heart.
Nothing is as satisfying
To my soul than to know You,
To love You, to serve You.
Just as I take my first breath
Your Holy Spirit fills me with joy.
There is only one place I feel secure,
In the shelter of Your loving arms.
Lord God, holy and upon Your throne
You draw me nearer to You.
My heart leaps within my chest
As I see You everywhere I look.
Your voice fills the air.
Your power and might are
Clear for all to see.
If we open shielded eyes
We who are call by your Name
Forever will receive Your love.
To live lives meant to worship You.
To show the world how pure and wonderful
Is the One who came to show us a better way.
Your Son, blameless who
sacrificed Himself on the cross,
To take our sins upon Himself
Once and forever.
He is risen from the dead.
His love for us forever on display.
We are His sheep, He is our Shepherd.
​We are His children, He is our Father.
Oh, beautiful Glory Divine
Your Majesty forever shines
More brightly than the sun
More spectacular than the day.
Your Name, Jesus forever raised
Upon our humble lips.
As the day fades and the
darkness begins to fall, 
We bow our heads to You, Our King
In humble adoration
For the gifts You have bestowed,
The lives we've touched.
The Holy Hand who forever guides.
There is nothing so grand
as to lay down my head
Knowing that we are forever held.
When my eyes are closed and 
the peace of sleep
allows my body to succumb to rest,
Your peace surrounds me and
Your Hand steadies my heart.
When doubt arises and fears
try to wither this heart,
Your Hand is ever upon me. 
And if by chance, this is my time
To kiss this world goodbye,
You will be calling my Name
And I will hear Your familiar voice
As familiar as Your breath on the dawn.
Oh, beautiful Glory Divine
Your Majesty that forever shines
Brightly in the night.
More spectacular than any dream,
Your Name will forever be raised
Upon my lips as I am welcomed home.
