97. Worthy the Lamb

1 "Worthy is the lamb," the hosts of heaven sing,
As before the throne they make his praises ring;
"Worthy is the Lamb the book to open wide,
Worthy is the Lamb who once was crucified."

Chorus:
Oh, this bleeding Lamb, oh, this bleeding Lamb,
Oh, this dying Lamb, he was found worthy;
Oh, this bleeding Lamb, Oh, this bleeding Lamb,
Oh, this dying Lamb, he was found worthy.

2 Worthy is the Lamb who shed his precious blood
To restore a world to happiness and God;
"When no eye could pity and no arm could save,"
Jesus, for our ransom, himself freely gave. [Chorus]

3 Worthy is the Lamb, the bleeding sacrifice
Who for Adam's race paid such a fearful price;
Worthy is the Lamb, the paschal Lamb of God,
For the world received "Redemption thro' his blood." [Chorus]

4 "Worthy is the Lamb" let men and angels sing,
"Worthy is the Lamb," let hallelujahs ring;
And when life is past, upon the golden shore,
"Worthy is the Lamb," we'll shout forevermore. [Chorus]
