Bless-ing and hon-or and glo-ry and pow'r,
Wis-dom and rich-es and strength ev-er-more
Give ye to Him who our bat-tle hath won,
Whose are the king-dom, the crown and the throne.
Sound-eth the heav'n of the heav'ns with His name;
Ring-eth the earth with His glo-ry and fame;
O-cean and moun-tain, stream, for-est and flow'r
Ech-o His prais-es and tell of His pow'r.
Ev-er as-cend-eth the song and the joy;
Ev-er de-scend-eth the love from on high;
Bless-ing and hon-or and glo-ry and praise—
This is the theme of the hymns that we raise.
Give we the glo-ry and praise to the Lamb;
Take we the robe and the harp and the palm;
Sing we the song of the Lamb that was slain,
Dy-ing in weak-ness, but ris-ing to reign.
