Blessing, and honor, and glory, and pow'r,
Wisdom, and riches, and strength evermore,
Give ye to Him Who our battle hath won,
Whose are the Kingdom, the crown, and the throne.

Refrain:
Life of all life, and true Light of all light,
Star of the dawning, unchangingly bright;
Sing we the song of the Lamb that was slain,
Dying in weakness, but rising to reign.

Soundeth the heav'n of the heav'ns with His Name;
Ringeth the earth with His glory and fame;
Ocean and mountain, and forest, and flow'r
Echo His praises and tell of His pow'r.

Ever ascendeth the song and the joy,
Ever descendeth the love from on high,
Blessing, and honor, and glory and praise,
This is the theme of the hymns that we raise.
