“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.” Rev. 5. 6-12

1 We sing thy praise, exalted Lamb,
  Who sitt’st upon thy throne;
  Ten thousand blessings on thy name,
  Who worthy art alone.

2 Thy bruisèd, broken body bore
  Our sins upon the tree;
  And now thou liv’st for evermore,
  And now we live through thee.

3 Poor sinners, sing the Lamb that died;
  What theme can sound so sweet?
  His drooping head, his streaming side,
  His piercèd hands and feet;

4 With all that scene of suffering love
  Which faith presents to view:
  For now he lives and reigns above,
  And lives and reigns for you.

5 [Was ever grace, Lord, rich as thine?
  Can aught be with it named?
  What powerful beams of love divine
  Thy tender heart inflamed!]

6 Ye angels, hymn his glorious name,
  Who loved and conquered thus;
  And we will likewise laud the Lamb,
  For he was slain for us.
