Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CLXXXII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Not unto us, but thee alone Lyrics: 1 Not unto us, but thee alone,
Blest Lamb, be glory giv'n!
Here shall thy praises be begun,
And carried on in heav'n.
2 The host of spirits now with thee,
Eternal Anthems sing:
To imitate them here, lo! we,
Our Hallelujahs bring.
3 Had we our tongues like them inspir'd,
Like theirs our songs should rise;
Like them we never should be tir'd,
But love the sacrifice.
4 Till we the veil of flesh lay down,
Accept our weaker lays;
And when we reach thy Father's throne
We'll give thee nobler praise.
