-"Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry,
-"To be exalted thus:"
-"Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply,
-"For he was slain for us."
-Jesus is worthy to receive
-Honor and power divine;
-And blessings more than we can give,
-Be, Lord, for ever thine.
-Let all that dwell above the sky,
-And air, and earth, and seas,
-Conspire to lift thy glories high,
-And speak thine endless praise.
-The whole creation join in one,
-To bless the sacred name
-Of him that sits upon the throne,
-And to adore the Lamb.
