The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#201

201. Behold the Glories of the Lamb

1 Behold the glories of the Lamb
Amidst His Father’s throne;
Prepare new honors for His name,
And songs before unknown,
And songs before unknown.

2 Let elders worship at His feet,
The church adore around;
With vials full of odors sweet,
And harps of sweeter sound,
And harps of sweeter sound.

3 Those are the prayers of all the saints,
And these the hymns they raise;
Jesus is kind to our complaints,
He loves to hear our praise,
He loves to hear our praise.

4 Now to the Lamb that once was slain
Be endless blessings paid:
Salvation, glory, joy remain
Forever, on thy head,
Forever on thy head.

5 Thou hast redeemed our souls with blood,
Hast set the prisoners free;
Hast made us kings and priests to God,
And we shall reign with Thee,
And we shall reign with Thee.
