Blessing and Honor and Glory and Power

Blessing and hon­or and glo­ry and pow­er

Wisdom and rich­es and strength ev­er­more

Give ye to Him who our bat­tle hath won

Whose are the king­dom

the crown

and the throne.

Into the heav’n of the heav’ns hath He gone

Sitteth He now in the joy of the throne

Weareth He now of the king­dom the crown

Singeth He now the new song with His own.

Soundeth the heav­en of the heav­ens with His name;

Ringeth the earth with His glo­ry and fame;

Ocean and mount­ain

stream

for­est

and flow­er

Echo His prais­es and tell of His pow­er.

Past are the dark­ness

the storm

and the war

Come is the ra­di­ance

that spar­kles afar

Breaketh the gleam of the day with­out end

Riseth the Sun that shall nev­er des­cend.

Ever as­cend­eth the song and the joy;

Ever de­scend­eth the love from on high;

Blessing and hon­or and glo­ry and praise

This is the theme of the hymns that we raise.

Life of all life

and true Light of all light

Star of the dawn­ing un­chang­ing­ly bright

Sun of the Sa­lem whose light is the Lamb

Theme of the ev­er new

ev­er glad psalm!

Give we the glo­ry 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

Dying in weak­ness

but ris­ing to reign.
