Hymn: The Adoration of the XXIV Elders

WORTHY Thou art all Honour to receive,
Thrice Honour'd we, who may that Honour give,
Blest King, who in One undivided now,
The scatter'd Parts of Time collected, hast,
The Future, Present, and the Past;
And every Time and Age dost in one moment know.

We praise Thee', Almighty God, for that Thou' hast tane
To Thee thy great Power, and at length dost Reign
Thou Reign'st, and tho the Nations troubled are,
Thy Wrath is come, and therewith come the Time,
When Thou wilt sentence every Crime,
And all the Dead shall for the Great Assize prepare.

Up shall they rise; and as their Works have been,
Or Shame, or Glory, on all Brows be seen;
Thy Prophets, and Thy Saints shall shout for joy,
And all who fear Thy Name, both small and great;
But Vengeance, from Thy Judgment Seat,
Th' Earths bold Destroyers shall eternally destroy.
