Ye Servants of God, Your Master Proclaim

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 668 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 7:9-12 Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim, And publish abroad His wonderful name; The name all victorious of Jesus extol, His kingdom is glorious and rules over all. 2 God 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. 4 Then 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.

How came they to the blissful seats of everlasting day? Lo! these are they from suff’rings great, who came to realms of light, And in the blood of Christ have washed those robes which shine so bright. Now, with triumphal palms, they stand before the throne on high, And serve the God they love, amidst the glories of the sky. His presence fills each heart with joy, tunes ev’ry mouth to sing: By day, by night, the sacred courts with glad hosannahs ring. 150 Hunger and thirst are felt no more, nor suns with scorching ray; God is their sun, whose cheering beams diffuse eternal day. The Lamb which dwells amidst the throne shall o’er them still preside; Feed them with nourishment divine, and all their footsteps guide. ’Mong pastures green he’ll lead his flock, where living streams appear; And God the Lord from ev’ry eye shall wipe off ev’ry tear.
