7s.
by T. Kelly
1
Lord, accept our feeble song!
 
Power and praise to Thee belong;
 
We would all Thy grace record,
 
Holy, holy, holy Lord!
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.” (1 Peter 2:9)
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” (Revelation 4:11)
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” (Matthew 28:18)
“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” (Ephesians 1:6)
“And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.” (Revelation 4:8)
2
Rich in glory, Thou didst stoop,
 
Thence is all Thy people’s hope;
 
Thou wast poor, that we might be
 
Rich in glory, Lord, with Thee.
“For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.” (2 Corinthians 8:9)
3
When we think of love like this,
 
Joy and shame our hearts possess;
 
Joy, that Thou couldst pity thus;
 
Shame, for such returns from us.
“Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.” (Psalm 103:13)
4
Yet we hope the day to see
 
When, from every hindrance free,
 
When to Thee, in glory, brought,
 
We shall serve Thee as we ought.
“For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.” (2 Corinthians 5:4)
“And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him.” (Revelation 22:3)
