The New English Hymnal ‎#349

349. Come, let us join our cheerful songs

1 Come, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels round the throne;
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.

2 'Worthy the Lamb that died,' they cry,
'To be exalted thus;'
'Worthy the Lamb,' our lips reply,
'For He was slain for us.'

3 Jesus is worthy to receive
Honour and pow'r divine;
And blessings more than we can give
Be, Lord, for ever thine.

4 Let all creation join in one
To bless the sacred name
Of him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.
