HONOUR AND GLORY TO GOD.
“Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise
God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
—1 Timothy, i. 17.
King of kings! O teach us how
We before Thee ought to bow:
Not alone on bended knee,
Should we offer praise to Thee;
May Thy grace to us impart,
Prostrate spirit, humbled heart.

King Eternal! O prepare
Us eternity to share:
By thy Spirit's influence here,
Keep us in thy holy fear,
That, hereafter, ours may be
Bless'd eternity with Thee.

King Immortal! through thy Son
Immortality is won:
Give us faith in Him, that we
Over death may victors be;
And, accepted for His sake,
May to endless life awake.

King Invisible! supply
Sight unto that inward eye,
Which should look on “things unseen,”
But by sin hath darken'd been;
Thou canst cause the blind to see,
Ope that eye to look on Thee.

Lord of lords! and King of kings!
Heaven's high vault with praises rings;
Should not man on earth proclaim
Honour, glory, to Thy name,
If, when he from earth shall sever,
These he would ascribe for ever?
