You are on your throne
And from the highest you have shown
Eternal love, here unfurled
May this love now rule – the world
From this earth goes a song of praise
Sung by men out of ev’ry race;
We hear and we share your word
So that love’s pow’r shall overcome in this world
Holy, Holy, Holy is our Lord, King Sebaot
And as a shepherd leads his herd
We are led by God’s own word.
Immanuel – I have heard
Immanuel – You are the Word
- took the blame
And forgave my shame
You’re fore’er the same
Blessed Word.

About the translation:
Tone Ødegaard needed an English version of this unique song and asked me to have a go at it. In reality, it is four different songs sung by the four voices of a choir. Beautiful!
