HYMN XXXVI.
[O when shall we supremely blest]
O when shall we supremely blest
Enter the rapturous unrest,
Partake the triumph of the sky,
And holy, holy, holy, cry?
Enter the rapturous unrest,
Partake the triumph of the sky,
And holy, holy, holy, cry?
We render thanks with one accord
To our almighty God and Lord,
Who was, and is, and is to come,
Let Jesus all His power assume.
To our almighty God and Lord,
Who was, and is, and is to come,
Let Jesus all His power assume.
Jesus let His whole church adore,
The elders, and the living four;
Worship Divine to Christ be given
By every citizen of heaven!
The elders, and the living four;
Worship Divine to Christ be given
By every citizen of heaven!
With all that angel-host, with all
Those blessed saints we long to fall,
And sing in ecstasies unknown,
And praise Him on His dazzling throne.
Those blessed saints we long to fall,
And sing in ecstasies unknown,
And praise Him on His dazzling throne.

Honour, and majesty, and power,
And thanks and blessing evermore,
Who dost through endless ages live,
Thou, Lord, art worthy to receive.
And thanks and blessing evermore,
Who dost through endless ages live,
Thou, Lord, art worthy to receive.
For Thou hast bid the creatures be,
And still subsist to pleasure Thee,
From Thee they came, to Thee they tend,
Their gracious Source, their glorious End!
And still subsist to pleasure Thee,
From Thee they came, to Thee they tend,
Their gracious Source, their glorious End!
