"Praise the Lamb!" At once awaking, 
The gathered hosts their voices throng; 
Loud and wide - each tongue partaking -  
Rolls renewed the endless song.

Grateful incense this, ascending, 
Rises to the Father’s throne; 
Every knee to Christ is bending; 
All the mind in heaven is one.

All the Father’s counsels claiming 
Equal honours to the Son; 
All the Son’s effulgence beaming -  
Glory of His Father's throne.

By the Spirit all-pervading, 
Radiant hosts unnumber’d round, 
Breathing glory never-fading, 
Echo back the blissful sound.

Joyful now the wide creation 
Rests in undisturbed repose; 
Blest in Jesus’ full salvation, 
Sorrow now nor thraldom knows.

Rich the streams of bounty flowing- 
Common blessings from above, 
Life and holy joy, bestowing -  
Tell of God’s unwearied love.

Hark! the heavenly notes again! 
Loudly swells the air-borne praise; 
Throughout creation’s vault, "Amen!" 
"Amen!" responsive joy doth raise.
