Patris In Celis Oriens

Father, awesome creator
to you I give my most devoted praises
Messiah, Saviour of life
your holiness extends beyond our knowledge

Patris in Celis Oriens!

you come to my rescue
when times of trouble seem to conquer life
and you send comfort fire in the black of the night
conqueror of sin bathed in pure light
by the blood you spilled for me
by the cross we've been set free

Patris in Celis Oriens!

Father, governor of the stars
majesty upon the celestial throne
blessed are we who come to know your unfailing love
vindicate me in your righteousness

Patris in Celis Oriens!

how I long to serve you in your kingdom
in the halls of shining light...
in the splendour of the saints
for eternity...
