Over all
Over the heavens, over the earth
Over the seas we exalt your worth!
Over the mountains, over the plains
You are exalted ‚ you goodness remains!
Let your glory arise as we lift up our eyes
To watch and pray as on our knees we fall
We wait on your mercy for you are Lord of all!
Over the desert, over the streams
The field and the forest,Ý all creation esteems
You reign forever in power and might
You are enthroned in your radiant light
Over all, over all
You are Lord over all
On our faces now we fall
You are Lord over all.
Build us up in your teachings
On your mercy we wait
We pray forÝ your will
As we enter your gate.
Lord and master of our souls
We love your commands
We will write them on our hearts
Bind them to our heads and hands
Talk about them when we rise
And liven them when we walk
When lying down and rising up
Loudly our lives will talk.
Over all, over all
You are Lord over all
On our faces now we fall
You are Lord over all.
