311. Blessing and Honor and Glory and Power

1 Blessing and honor and glory and power,
Wisdom and riches and strength evermore,
Give we to him who our battle has won,
Whose are the kingdom, the crown, and the throne.

2 Hear through the heavens the sound of his name,
While rings the earth with his glory and fame;
Ocean and mountain, stream, forest, and flower
Echo His praises and tell of his power.

3 Ever ascending the song and the prayer;
Ever descending the love that we share;
Blessing and honor and glory and praise—
This is the theme of the hymns that we raise.

4 Give we the glory and praise to the Lamb;
Take we the robe and the harp and the palm;
Sing we the song of the Lamb that was slain,
Dying in weakness, but rising to reign.

Amen.
