2 By whom they all created were, And on whom they attend, And from whom all their dignity Doth unto them descend:
3 They clothed are like unto Sons With might and glorious power, And serve the Lord most willingly, With greatest zeal each hour:
3 They cloathed are like unto Sons With might and glorious power, And serve the Lord most willingly, With greatest zeal each hour:
4 One part of their sweet work's to sing To God melodiously, And we by them also are taught To sing continually.
5 Then as God's will is done by them, Let us do it on Earth; Like flames of fire let us be, And sing God's Praises forth.
