“Cwm Rhondda” (8.7.8.7.4.4.7.7)
God of worlds, and countless aeons,
all Thy servants hymn Thy praise!
Let the world keep rev’rent silence;
all Thy works reflect Thy grace!
Rev’rent silence, rev’rent silence,
may the world keep before thee!
May the world keep before thee.
Blazing stars, and noisy rivers
hush themselves before Thy throne!
All the pow’rs in highest Heaven
in one voice with us intone,
“Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia and amen!
Alleluia and amen.”
In the name of God the Father,
Son and Holy Spirit, sing!
Of good things, the only giver—
let our praise forever ring!
Only giver, only giver,
let us give our thanks to Thee!
Let us give our thanks to thee.
