LXVI. Disciples of Christ

1 Disciples of Christ
Ye Friends of the Lamb;
Attend, and assist
In sing his Fame:
Eternal Thanksgiving
The Faithful should pay,
The Living, the Living,
As we do this Day.

2 A Body of Clay
He humbly put on.
And then took away
The Sin we had done;
And in it endured
The Wrath to us due,
The Curse we incurred,
Our Stripes and our Woe.

3 Not only he dy'd,
But also arose;
Laid Weakness aside,
And over his Foes,
(Sin, Death, and the Devil,)
He triumph'd, and o'er
This World, and all Evil,
Dominion and Pow'r.

4 O merciful Lamb,
Who sits on the Throne,
We bow at thy Name,
The Saviour we own,
Deserving our Blessing,
And Blessing we'll give,
Without ever ceasing,
So long as we live.
