1Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim, And publish abroad His wonderful name; The name all victorious of Jesus extol; His kingdom is glorious, He rules over all.

2God ruleth on high, almighty to save; And still He is nigh His presence we have; The great congregation His triumph shall sing, Ascribing salvation to Jesus our King.

3"Salvation to God Who sits on the throne!" Let all cry aloud, and honor the Son; The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim, Fall down on their faces, and worship the Lamb.

4Then let us adore, and give Him His right, All glory and power, all wisdom and might, All honor and blessing, with angels above, And thanks never ceasing, and infinite love.
