A Song of Praise Collected from the Doxologies in the Revelation of St. John

by John Mason 1646?–1694

From Spiritual Songs (1699)

Religion

TO Him that lov'd us from Himself,
And dy'd to do us good;
And wash'd us from our scarlet sins,
In his own purest Blood.
And made us Kings and Priests to God,
His Father infinite;
To him Eternal Glory be,
And Everlasting Might.

The Lamb is worthy that was slain,
To have all Power and Wealth;
All Honour, Glory, Wisdom, Strength,
Thanks for his saving Health.
Thanks, Honour, Glory, Power to Him
That on the Throne doth sit;
And to the Lamb for ever, and
For ever, so be it.

Thousands of thousands of the Saints
Which stand before their King,
With shining Robes, and spreading Palms
Loud Hallelujahs sing.
Ascribe salvation to our God
Who sits upon the Throne,
