304. Soon the Saints in Glory Singing

8,7.
by M. Bowley
1
Soon the saints in glory singing,
 
Will with joy exalt the Lamb;
 
All in heaven their tribute bringing,
 
Raising high the Savior’s name.
2
To us, now the earnest’s given,
 
Here by grace these themes belong;
 
Let us sing the song of heaven,
 
’Tis our everlasting song.
“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise. Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.” (Ephesians 1:13-14)
3
See how God has now enthroned Him
 
At His own right hand in heaven,
 
There the heavenly hosts have owned Him
 
Lord, to whom all power is given.
“Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 1:20)
“And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands. Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.” (Revelation 5:11-12)
4
Endless life in Him possessing,
 
Let us praise His glorious name,
 
Glory, honor, power and blessing,
 
Be forever to the Lamb.
“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.” (1 John 5:11)
“And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.” (Revelation 5:13)
