Almighty God, thy throne above

From Oremus Hymnal

Almighty God, thy throne above
no time can change, no power can move:
thy word the fleeting hours obey,
they speed the night, they close the day.

O cheer the evening of our days
with that bright beam which ne'er decays:
and make a happy death the road
to bring our ransomed souls to God.

O Holy Father, Holy Son,
and Holy Spirit, Three in One,
thy grace devoutly we implore,
thy name be praised for evermore.
