36. Worthy the Lamb

1 Joy! joy! joy! Joy! joy! joy!
Sing to the Saviour, shout for joy,
Anthems of grateful praise employ;
Join in the glad triumphant hymn,
The song of the saints and the seraphim.

Refrain:
Worthy! worthy!
Worthy! worthy!
Worthy the Lamb that once was slain!
Worthy is Christ forever to reign!
Worthy is Christ forever to reign!

2 Joy! joy! joy! Joy! joy! joy!
Sing to the great Redeemer's name,
Tell of his love, His grace proclaim;
Publish the deeds that Christ has done,
And echo the triumphs which he has won. [Refrain]

3 Joy! joy! joy! Joy! joy! joy!
Loud and more loud the strains resound,
Spreading the notes of praise around,
Now let the chorus swell and rise,
And blend with the music above the skies. [Refrain]
