LyicsWHAT equal honors shall we bring
To thee, O Lord our God, the Lamb,
When all the notes that angels sing
Are far inferior to thy name?
Worthy is he that once was slain,
The Prince of life, that groan'd and died,
Worthy to rise, and live and reign
At his almighty Father's side.
Honor immortal must be paid,
Instead of scandal and of scorn;
While glory shines around his head,
He wears a crown without a thorn.
Blessings for ever on the Lamb,
Who bore the curse for wretched man!
Let angels sound his sacred name,
And ev'ry creature say, "Amen."
