Classic Poem

Praise ye our God, his servants all,
That on him daily wait:
And ye that fear him, great and small,
His praises celebrate.

With hosts above join your assent,
Who Hallelujah say;
For God the Lord omnipotent
Reigns in a sov'reign way.

Joy to ourselves let us assume,
To him give honour due;
The marriage of the Lamb is come,
His bride's made ready too.

In favour great to her he grants.
The raiment fair and fine;
'Tis clean and white, the robe of saints,
The righteousness divine.

O bless'd are they, that now, by name,
Are call'd of God, to share,
The marriage-supper of the Lamb,
And taste the royal fare.

Write, said the message, with design
These sayings go abroad:
And write, to found a faith divine,
These are the truths of God.
