403. PART 9. “And the glory.”
1
Angels, give the loud ascriptionTo the Majesty on high!
And, in all their wide commissions,
Traversing the starry sky,
Sound his praises
Ever distant! ever nigh!
2
Let the boastful heirs of frailtyFrom their towering heights retire!
Let them give to God the glory,
And, (with prostrate hearts,) aspire
Self to humble,
And exalt the Almighty Sire!
3
At his mandate, if transgressionsHaste to a perpetual end;
If the powers of darkness tremble,
And the reign of truth extend;
To Jehovah
Let hosannahs loud ascend!
301
4
If our efforts have been honour'dBy the Lord, whom we adore;
If his face has smil'd upon us,
In our basket, and our store,
To his glory
Praise be offered evermore!
5
If, when time is fast retiring,And eternity is near;
If the hope of heaven, unfolding,
Our departing spirits cheer;
We shall glory
In the Lord, whom angels fear!
6
If, beyond the waves of Jordan,Join'd by every tongue and tribe,
God, in his eternal record,
Our unworthy names inscribe,
All the glory
We shall to the Lamb ascribe!
