The saints in heaven began the strain;
The homage which to Christ belongs:
"Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!"
2 Slain to redeem us by His blood,
To cleanse from every sinful stain,
And make us kings and priests to God:
"Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!"
3 To Him who suffered on the tree,
Our souls, at His soul's price to gain,
Blessing, and praise, and glory be:
"Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!"
4 To Him, enthroned by filial right,
All power in heaven and earth proclaim,
Honor, and majesty, and might:
"Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!"
5 Long as we live, and when we die,
And while in heaven with Him we reign,
This song, our song of songs shall be:
"Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!"
Amen. Topics: Eastertide; Processional; Parochial Missions; Adoration Used With Tune: [Come, let us sing the song of songs]
