"Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of His servant" (Psalm 25:27). "Rejoice... ye holy apostles and prophets; God hath avenged you.... And after these things, I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God: for true and righteous are His judgments" (Revelation 18:20, 19:1,2).
The saints and the angels in heaven rejoice
As judgment has come with their vindication.
And after these things they lift up their voice
To magnify God for His wondrous salvation.
So may we likewise rejoice for the favor
That God has been pleased by grace to extend,
Not for our glory, but that of our Savior!
Let our prosperity be to this end!
May this be our purpose, to thus testify:
Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power
Belong to the Lord, whom we magnify!
Let this be the core our cause every hour.
