123. Behold the glories of the Lamb

1 Behold the glories of the Lamb
Amid His Father's throne;
Prepare new honours for His Name,
And songs before unknown.

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

3 Now to the Lamb that once was slain
Be endless blessings paid;
Salvation, glory, joy, remain
For ever on Thy head.

4 Thou hast redeem'd our souls with blood,
Hast set the prisoners free,
Hast made us kings and priests to God,
And we shall reign with Thee.

5 The worlds of nature and of grace
Are put beneath Thy power;
Then shorten these delaying days,
And bring the promised hour.
