Text: | Praise |
1 Glory to God on high!
Let earth and skies reply;
Praise ye his name:
His love and grace adore,
Who all our sorrows bore;
Sing aloud evermore,
Worthy the Lamb.
2 Jesus, our Lord and God,
Bore sin's tremendous load,
Praise ye his name:
Tell what his arm hath done,
What spoils from Death he won;
Sing his great name alone;
Worthy the Lamb.
3 While they around the throne
Cheerfully join in one,
Praising his name:
These who have felt his blood
Sealing their peace with God,
Sound his dear fame abroad,
Worthy the Lamb.
4 Join, all ye ransom'd race,
Our holy Lord to bless;
Praise ye his name:
In him we will rejoice,
And make a joyful noise,
Shouting with heart and voice,
Worthy the Lamb.
5 What tho' we change our place,
Yet we shall never cease
Praising his name:
To him our songs we bring,
Hail him, our gracious King,
And without ceasing sing,
Worthy the Lamb.
6 Then let the hosts above,
In realms of endless love,
Praise his dear name:
To him ascribed be
Honour and majesty,
Thro' all Eternity:
Worthy the Lamb.
