The Honors Of Your Lord And King

August 5, 2025 /

1 Beloved of the Lord most high,

Let praises be your sweet employ;

Ye sons of God, rejoice, and sing,

The honors of your Lord and King.

Ye sons of God, rejoice, and sing,

The honors of your Lord and King.

2 Your heavenly Father ever lives,

And all His choicest treasure gives;

To you, the favorites of His heart,

Nor will He ever with you part.

To you, the favorites of His heart,

Nor will He ever with you part.

3 Whatever be your lot below,

Though you thru gloomy paths may go,

Your heavenly Father is your Light,

And He will guide your footsteps right.

Your heavenly Father is your Light,

And He will guide your footsteps right.

4 In every changing scene below,

’Tis yours by faith this grace to know:

Now are we sons and heirs of God,

Fast hastening to our blest abode.

Now are we sons and heirs of God,

Fast hastening to our blest abode.

5 In every trying, deep distress,

In poverty and wretchedness,

This truth sweet comfort should afford:

E’en now we are the sons of God.

This truth sweet comfort should afford:

E’en now we are the sons of God.

6 Let worldlings know we scorn the toys,

Which they so highly love and prize;

We must possess all real good,

Since we are sons and heirs of God.

We must possess all real good,

Since we are sons and heirs of God.

7 Dear Father, bless us with this grace,

While traveling thru this wilderness;

Our sonship still to keep in view,

And honor Thee in all we do.

Our sonship still to keep in view,

And honor Thee in all we do.
