Joining the angelic hosts in praises.
JESUS, take all the glory: 
  
Thy meritorious passion 
  
The pardon bought, thy mercy brought 
  
To us the great salvatlon. 
  
Thee gladly we acknowledge 
  
Our only Lord and Saviour, 
  
Thy name confess, thy goodness bless, 
  
And triumph in thy favour. 
2 With angels and archangels, 
  
We prostrate fall before thee; 
  
Again we raise our souls in praise, 
  
And thankfully adore thee. 
  
Honour, and power, and blessing, 
  
To thee be ever given, 
  
By all who know thy love below, 
  
And all the hosts of heaven. 
                        Charles Wesley 
                        Methodist Episcopal hymnal (1870 edition)
