"Jesus is worthy to receive Honor and power divine; And blessings, more than we can give, Be, Lord, for ever thine. "The whole creation join in one, To bless the sacred name Of Him that sits upon the throne, And to adore the Lamb." _______________ "Give me the wings of faith, to rise Within the veil, and see The saints above, how great their joys, How bright their glories be. "Once they were mourners here below, And wet their couch with tears; They wrestled hard, as we do now, With sins, and doubts, and fears. "I ask them whence their victory came: They, with united breath, Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, Their triumph to his death. "They marked the footsteps that he trod; His zeal inspired their breast; And following their incarnate God, Possessed the promised rest. "Our glorious Leader claims our praise, For his own pattern given; While the long cloud of witnesses Show the same path to heaven." _______________ "With heart and hands, and lifted eyes, I'll praise thee while I've life and breath; And, while my loosened spirit flies, I'll gasp thy praise in very death. "Faith fain would say, in cheerful mood, Thy name be glorified, By leading through the swelling flood, Or through the channel dried. "If grace in time of need I have, And strength as is my day, I'll triumph through the foaming wave, As through the side-walled way." _______________ "I'll praise my Maker while I've breath; And when my voice is lost in death, Praise shall employ my noblest powers; My days of praise shall ne'er be past, "While life and thought and being last. And immortality endures." _______________ "My God, indulge my humble claim; Thou art my hope, my joy, my rest; The glories that compose thy name Stand all engaged to make me blest. "Thou great and good, thou just and wise, Thou art my Father and my God; And I am thine by sacred ties, Thy child, thy servant, bought with blood.
