282. The Blessed and Only Potentate

1 In the heav'ns the Lord Almighty
Fixed His everlasting throne;
Over all is His dominion,
He is God, and He alone.

2 Bless the Lord, ye mighty angels,
Ye that hearken to His voice,
All His gracious word fulfilling;
Ever bless Him and rejoice.

3 Bless the Lord, all ye His servants,
Ministers of God Most High;
Ye His hosts, that do His pleasure,
God your Maker glorify.

4 Bless the Lord, all things created;
Be His holy Name adored
All throughout His wide dominion;
O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
