Glory and Honour

Glory and Honour

by Reverend John Slee

This is one of the Alternative Service Book Evening Prayer Canticles (hymns). It may take a little time to fit the words to the music, but there's usually a note per syllable. Exceptions include 'God' (line 11) and 'Lamb' (line 17), which each have 3 beats: e.g. La-a-amb. As an Assistant Curate in Truro diocese I have used this quite often. My son Craig (8) has now 'borrowed' my Music 5000 and thought that publishing this might allow him a free AMPLINEX disc!

Lyrics:

Glory and honour and pow'r

Are yours by right,

O Lord our God

For you created all things

and by your will

they have their being

Glory and honour and pow'r

are yours by right,

O Lamb who was slain

For by your blood you ransomed

men for God.

From every race and language,

From every people and nation,

To make them a kingdom of priests,

To stand and serve before our God.

To him who sits on the throne

and to the Lamb,

be praise & honour, glory & might

for ever and ever. Amen.
