HYMN IV.

[Taken out of the Revelations.]

[As the 25 Psalm.]
YE faithfull Servants of the Lord, See that his Name ye celebrate; And ye that fear him sing aloud Praises to God both small and great.
Most Holy, Holy, Holy Lord Almighty's his adored Name; Who was before all time, and is, And ever shall be still the same.
All Glory, Pow'r and Honour, thou Alone art worthy to receive: For all things by thy Pow'r were made, All by and for thy Pleasure live.

Page 355

To thee, O spotless Lamb of God, Riches and Pow'r of Right belong, Wisdom and Honour, conqu'ring strength, Glory and every praising Song.
Thou, for to expiate our Sins Wast slain, and by thy precious Blood, From every Nation Tribe and Tongue, Thou hast redeemed us to God.
From thee, to be both Kings and Priests To God, the Privilege we gain; And shall hereafter be advanc'd, With thee, O Christ, on Earth to reign.
Blessing and Honour, Glory, Pow'r, Ever by all in Earth, and Heav'n To him that sits upon the Throne, And to the Lamb of God be giv'n.
Part II.
O thou great Ruler of the World, Thy glorious Works our wonder raise; Thou ever-blessed King of Saints, How true and righteous are thy ways!
Who would not fear, and glorify Thy Name, thou onely Holy one? Th' whole World will come and wor∣ship thee, To whom thy Judgments are made known.
Now o'er the Kingdoms of this World God and his Christ as King do's reign;

Page 356

Whose Pow'r, that for his Rule made way, His Conquests ever will maintain.
We give thee thanks, Almighty Lord, Which art, and wast, and art to come; Who hast exerted thy great Pow'r, And for thy Victories made room.
Let th'angry Nations rage; thy wrath blood Is come; and it's thy time to rain Down Judgments, and t'avenge the Of Martyrs barbarously slain.
And now thy suffe'ring Servants, Lord, Great Saints and Prophets thou'lt re∣gard; And all that fear thy Name, tho' here Despis'd shall have a great reward.
All thy just vengeance will applaud On them, who all their Pow'r imploy'd, To turn the Earth t' a Field of Blood; Their turn now comes to be destroy'd.
Salvation to the Saints is come; God's strength and mighty aids appear, T' advance his Kingdom among Men, Who all the Pow'r of Christ revere.
He that before the Lord accus'd The Brethren with false Calumnies, Is now cast head-long down, and none Give credit longer to his Lyes.
He's conquer'd by the Blood of Christ, And by their witness to his word: start from here tomorrow

Page 357

These valued not their Lives, but dy'd For Love unto their dearest Lord.
Ye heav'nly Spirits above, rejoyce; But woe to th' Earth below; whose hurt The Dev'il with utmost rage contrives, Knowing his time to do't's but short.
Salvation to our God belongs, Glory and Honour are his due; His Pow'r supreme, and all proclaim His Judgments to be just and true.
He the great Whore has judg'd, which did Corrupt with Idols every Land; And has aveng'd the crying Blood Of his slain Servants at her hand.
Now let both Heav'n and Earth aloud Their praising Hallelujah's sing; For the Lord God Almighty reigns, And shews himself a glorious King.
In Honour of the Lamb of God, Let's triumph on his Nuptial day; The time is come, and his chast Bride Stands ready drest in rich Array.
