Lyrics
Intro
Around the throne the colours bend,
a circle shining without end,
a song resounds, the heavens cry,
unceasing praise that fills the sky.
Verse 1
The rainbow arcs in holy flame,
creation bows before Your name,
the living creatures lift their voice,
in holy awe the saints rejoice.
With wings outstretched, with voices strong,
they cry aloud the endless song,
the throne is crowned with ceaseless praise,
eternal worship fills the days.
Pre-Chorus
Your throne is set, Your reign is high,
the host of heaven testifies.
Chorus
Encircling the throne, all voices rise,
worship resounds through earth and skies,
elders and angels, hosts proclaim,
all honour due the holy Name.
Encircling the throne, the praises flow,
glory and power forever known,
holy, unending, heaven’s tone,
encircling evermore the throne.
Verse 2
The elders fall, their crowns are cast,
before the King whose reign shall last,
the sea of glass reflects the flame,
the thunder speaks His sovereign name.
All creatures cry with one accord,
the holy song of Christ the Lord,
unceasing sound, unending light,
surrounds His throne both day and night.
Pre-Chorus
Your throne is set, Your reign is high,
the host of heaven testifies.
Chorus
Encircling the throne, all voices rise,
worship resounds through earth and skies,
elders and angels, hosts proclaim,
all honour due the holy Name.
Encircling the throne, the praises flow,
glory and power forever known,
holy, unending, heaven’s tone,
encircling evermore the throne.
Bridge
All power and might, all glory given,
forever sung in earth and heaven.
Chorus
Encircling the throne, all voices rise,
worship resounds through earth and skies,
elders and angels, hosts proclaim,
all honour due the holy Name.
Encircling the throne, the praises flow,
glory and power forever known,
holy, unending, heaven’s tone,
encircling evermore the throne.
Outro
The song endures, the heavens ring,
eternal praise to Christ the King.
