Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #152 (2011) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 What equal honors shall we bring
To Thee, O Lord, our God, the Lamb,
When all the notes that angels sing
Are far inferior to Thy name?
2 Worthy is He that once was slain,
The Prince of Life that groaned and died,
Worthy to rise, and live, and reign
At His almighty Father’s side.
3 Honor immortal must be paid,
Instead of scandal and of scorn;
While glory shines around His head,
He wears a crown without a thorn.
4 Blessings forever on the Lamb,
Who bore the curse for wretched men!
Let angels sound His sacred name,
And every creature say, "Amen."
