Blessed be Thy glorious Name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
Nehemiah 9:5
Words: Joseph Proud, The Liturgy of the New Church (Baltimore, Maryland: Samuel & John Adams, 1792), number 27.
Music: Mear, old English tune, arranged by Aaron Williams, 1762 (🔊 pdf nwc).
Now blessing, honor, glory, praise
By angel hosts are sung;
The saints below their voices raise,
And join the heav’nly throng.
Adored be He who comes to bless
The nations with His love;
To show His truth and righteousness,
And every cloud remove.
Blessèd be He who comes to reign
In Zion’s happy land:
Jerusalem is built again,
And shall forever stand.
No more His kingdom shall decay,
No more the temple fall;
Here Jesus reigns with endless sway,
The King and Lord of all.
