Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America ‎#413b

413b. 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
Honor and power 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.
