Author:		Scottish Psalter, 1880 Paraphrase of Revelation 1:5-9
Musician:		Thomas Jackson, 1715-1781 Twelve Psalm Tunes, 1780

To him that loved the souls of men,
And washed us in his blood,
To royal honors raised our head,
And made us priests to God;

To him let ev'ry tongue be praise,
And ev'ry heart be love!
All grateful honors paid on earth,
And nobler songs above!

Behold on flying clouds he comes!
His saints shall bless the day;
While they that pierced him sadly mourn
In anguish and dismay.

I am the First, and I the Last;
Time centers all in me;
Th'Almighty God, who was, and is,
And evermore shall be.
