Unto the Lamb That was slain

Representative Text

Unto the Lamb that was slain,
and has redeemed us out of all nations of the earth;
unto the Lord who purchased our souls for himself;
unto that Friend who loved us,
and loosed us from our sins by his own blood;
who died for us once, that we might die unto sin;
who rose for us,
that we also might rise;
who ascended for us - into heav'n,
to prepare a place for us;
and to whom are subjected the angels,
and pow'rs, and dominions;
to him be glory at all times,
in the church that waits for him,
and in that which is around him,
from everlasting to everlasting. Amen.

The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make his face shine upon you
and be gracious unto you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you
and give you peace;

In the name of Jesus. Amen.
