NOT UNTO US.

Theme from the Non Nobis Domine.

1.

Not unto us, oh Lord our God,

Not unto us, the noble laud,

For thine are all things here below,

And earth and skies thy glory show,

And Heaven is thine, and thine are we,

And thine are all things good, we see,

Non nobis decus, Domine.

2.

Now the bright skies thy praise proclaim!

The heavens are letter’d with thy name;

O’er all the world, the sunlight poured,

Is shadow to thy glory, Lord;

And stars, and light, and earth and sea,

Send up one anthem, Lord, to thee,

Non nobis decus, Domine.

3.

Thine is the heaven of heavens, oh God;

How is thy glory spread abroad!

And realms unseen, and worlds divine,

And angel armies, Lord, are thine;

So great art thou, so lowly we;

Not unto us, the glory be,

Non nobis decus, Domine.
