1 All mortal Vanities be gone, Nor tempt my Eyes, nor tire my Ears; Behold, amidst th' eternal Throne, A Vision of the Lamb appears. 2 Glory his fleecy Robe adorns, Mark'd with the bloody Death He bore; Sev'n are his Eyes, and sev'n his Horns, To speak his Wisdom and his Pow'r. 3 Lo, He receives a sealed Book From Him that sits upon the Throne; Jesus, my Lord, prevails to look On dark Decrees and Things unknown. 4 All the assembling Saints around Fall worshipping before the Lamb, And in new Songs of Gospel-Sound Address their Honours to his Name. 5 The Joy, the Shout, the Harmony Flies o'er the everlasting Hills "Worthy art Thou alone," (they cry) To read the Book, to loose the Seals." 6 Our Voices join the heav'nly Strain, And with transporting Pleasure sing, Worthy the Lamb that once was slain, To be our Teacher and our King. 7 His Words of Prophecy reveal Eternal Counsels, deep Designs; His Grace and Vengeance shall fulfil The peaceful and the dreadful Lines. 8 Thou hast redeem'd our Souls from Hell With thine invaluable Blood; And Wretches that did once rebel Are now made Fav'rites of their God. 9 Worthy for ever is the Lord, That dy'd for Treasons not his own, By ev'ry Tongue to be ador'd, And dwell upon his Father's Throne. | The Cyber Hymnal #127 Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.25 (1806) The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #274 (1835) Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs #3 (2018) Appendix, Containing a Number of Hymns Taken Chiefly from Dr. Watts's Scriptural Collection #XXXVIII (1765) The Psalms of David: imitated in the language of the New Testament, and applied to the Christian state and worship (27th ed.) #I.XXV (1766) A New Version of the Psalms of David: fitted to the Tunes used in Churches #HXXXVIII (1760) Appendix, Containing a Number of Hymns, Taken Chiefly from Dr. Watts's Scripture Collection #XXXVIII (1760) Hymns and Spiritual Songs, in Three Books: I. collected from the scriptures, II. composed on divine subjects, III. prepared for the Lord's Supper #I.XXV (1793) |
