Revelation 7:11-12

1834–1892
Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"And all the angels were standing round about the throne, and [about] the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever and ever. Amen." — Revelation 7:11-12 (ASV)

And about the elders and four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God. Saying, Amen: Blessing and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God forever and ever. Amen.

Grand ascriptions of praise to make the worship perfect, as all worship which is presented to God should be — as all worship will be when we will finally get to heaven.

And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be to our God for ever and ever. Amen.

You see that all the glory is given to God; man is lost sight of, humanitarianism has no place of honour in heaven, though many, nowadays, make so much of it here on earth. It is to Father, Son, and Spirit, to the one only Creator, Saviour, Inspirer that the angels ascribe blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, ... for ever and ever.
