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. ~~ Words by Horatius Bonar, 1866 ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Revelation 7:9-17 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ More Poems: What God Hath Promised Hymn Story: Just As I Am The Door Of Hope For All He Shall Come Sit Still Do You Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior?
