1 The victory of our God is won and all creation sings! Four living creatures round the throne acclaim the King of kings; the elders bring their crowns to him in worship day and night while cherubim and seraphim sing praise in burning light. 2 Then all believers in the Lord combine in perfect praise: the patriarchs who know their God, with saints of ancient days; the twelve apostles of the Lamb, the prophets in their place, the white-robed martyrs praise his name and glory in his grace. 3 The Christians of these later years shall not be missing there: the pastors and the pioneers who wrestled with despair; the churches where ten thousand pray, the groups of two or three the angels hear them sing that day how Jesus set them free. 4 All glory to the Lamb who died and rescued us by blood, the Saviour who was crucified to bring the world to God! Let all who witness to his word from every tribe and tongue sing 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord' in everlasting song.
