Behold the glories of the Lamb

Hymnal: Hymnal #123 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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.

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #H.I (1785) First Line: Behold the glories of the Lamb Lyrics: 1 Behold the glories of the Lamb Amidst his Father's throne; Prepare new honours for his name, And songs before unknown. 2 Let angels worship at his feet, And saints around him throng The church on earth with joy shall meet, And join the heavenly song. 3 Eternal Father, who shall look Thro' all thy secret will? Who but the Son shall take the book, And open every seal? 4 He shall accomplish thy decrees, And all thy wonders tell; Lo! in his sovereign hand, the keys Of heaven, and death, and hell. 5 He hath redeem'd our souls with blood, Hath broke their prisoners chain; Hath made us kings and priests with GOD, And we with him shall reign. 6 Now, to the Lamb, that once was slain, Be endless blessings paid; With saints and angels fill his train, And glories crown his head.
