59.  Worthy, The Lamb!

1
Glory to God on high!
Let heav’n and earth reply,
“Praise ye his name!”
His love and grace adore,
Who all our sorrows bore;
Sing loud forevermore,
“Worthy the Lamb!”

2
While the blest heav’nly throng
Gratefully join in song,
Praising his name-
Ye who have felt his blood
Sealing your peace with God,
Sound his dear name abroad,
“Worthy the Lamb!”

3
Join, all ye ransomed race,
Make earth a holy place,
Praising his name.
In him let all rejoice,
Singing with heart and voice-
Christ is our blessed choice,
“Worthy our King!”

4
Soon shall all sorrow cease;
For lo! the Prince of Peace
Cometh to reign;
To him our songs we bring;
Hail him our gracious King;
We’ll thro’ all ages sing,
“Worthy the Lamb!”
