Glory

Glory be to the one who created us all
and allows us back on the path when we fall.

Glory be to Him, and thanks, and praise, and love
who shows us history in the stars above.

Glory be to Him, whose mercy makes hearts sing
and strength carries us as though we have wings

Glory be to Him, who sent down the best Book,
guiding all to light, with no-one forsook

Glory be to Him, who shows the path with light,
Illuminating it with the prayer of night

Glory be to Him, who sent the perfect Guide
and put the best of successors by his side

Glory be to Him, who is never too far
though through our sins, we ourselves scar

Glory be to Him, maker of earth and sea,
with fingerprints everywhere for all to see

Glory be to Him, who split man into tribe and race
The creator's design shining in every face

Glory be to Him, the highest of the high
Though close enough to hear the orphan's sigh

Glory be to Him, for whose mercy we pray
yet none can utter enough thanks in a day

Glory be to Him, who cannot be contained
yet in the believer's heart He will remain

Glory be to Him, a thousand and more
only You I love, only You I adore
