I. A Song to the Lamb that was slain

1 Behold the glories of the Lamb
Amidst his Father's throne;
Prepare new honours for his name,
And songs before unknown.

2 Let angels worship at his feet,
And saints around him throng
The church on earth with joy shall meet,
And join the heavenly song.

3 Eternal Father, who shall look
Thro' all thy secret will?
Who but the Son shall take the book,
And open every seal?

4 He shall accomplish thy decrees,
And all thy wonders tell;
Lo! in his sovereign hand, the keys
Of heaven, and death, and hell.

5 He hath redeem'd our souls with blood,
Hath broke their prisoners chain;
Hath made us kings and priests with God,
And we with him shall reign.

6 Now, to the Lamb, that once was slain,
Be endless blessings paid;
With saints and angels fill his train,
And glories crown his head.
