SDA Hymnal 256

Ye Servants of God

Words: [unclear]Music: [unclear]Tune: [unclear][unclear]

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.
