Blessing and honor, glory and power,
Be unto the Ancient of Days.
From ev'ry nation, all of creation
Bow before the Ancient of Days.

Ev'ry knee shall bow at your throne in worship,
You will be exalted, O God,
And Your kingdom shall not pass away.
Oh, Ancient of Days.

Oh, Ancient of Days
Your kingdom shall reign over all the earth,
Sing unto the Ancient of Days.
None can compare to your matchless worth,
Sing unto the Ancient of Days.
THE "ANCIENT OF DAYS"
The term Ancient of Days originates in the Old Testment Book by the Prophet Daniel (7:9, 7:13-4, 7:21-22):
7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
7:13-14 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him, and there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
