Religion
A Hymn of Dr. P. taken out of his [Century of select Psalms, p. 201.] (From several Passages of the Revelations.)
From Spiritual Melody (1691), Part VIII
ALL ye that serve the Lord, his Name
See that ye celebrate;
And ye that fear him, sing aloud
His praise, both small, and great.
O thou great Ruler of the World,
Thy Works our wonder raise:
Thou blessed King of Saints, how true
And righteous are thy ways!
Who would not fear and praise thy Name,
Thou only Holy One?
The World shall worship thee, to whom
Thy Judgments are made known.
Most Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord
Almighty is thy Name;
Which was before all time, and is,
And shall be still the same.
All Glory, Pow'r, and Honour, thou
Art worthy to receive;
For all things by thy Pow'r were made,
And by thy Pleasure live.
To thee of right, O Lamb of God,
Riches and Pow'r belong;
Wisdom and Honour, Glory, Strength,
And every praising Song.
Thou as our Sacrifice wast slain,
And by thy precious Blood,
From ev'ry Tongue and Nation hast
Redeem'd us unto God.
Blessing and Honour, Glory, Power,
By all in Earth and Heaven,
To him that sits upon the Throne,
And to the Lamb, be giv'n.
