Lyics

What 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?

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 groaned and died;

Worthy to rise and live and reign

At his Almighty Father's side;

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;

While glory shines around his head,

He wears a crown without a thorn.



Blessings forever on the Lamb,

Who bore the curse for wretched man!

Let angels sound his sacred name,

And ev'ry creature say "Amen!"

Let angels sound his sacred name,

And ev'ry creature say "Amen!"
