Exalted more and more,
At God the Father’s own right hand,
Where angel hosts adore. [Refrain]

Once ruined by the fall,
Thou hast devised salvation’s plan,
For Thou hast died for all. [Refrain]

Whose reign shall never cease. [Refrain]

And worship at his feet. [Refrain]

And in that world above
Forever sing around the throne
His everlasting love. [Refrain] Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Jesus Christ Adoration, Praise of Scripture: Job 1:21 Languages: English Tune Title: BLESSED BE THE NAME
