Lyics

Glory to God on high!

Let heaven and earth reply;

Praise ye his name;

His love and grace adore,

Who all our sorrows bore,

And sing for evermore,

"Worthy the Lamb."



Ye who surround the throne,

Join cheerfully in one,

Praising his name;

Ye who have felt his blood

Sealing your peace with God,

Sound his dear name abroad:

"Worthy the Lamb."



Join, all ye ransomed race,

Our Lord and God to bless;

Praise ye his name;

In him we will rejoice,

And make a joyful noise,

Shouting with heart and voice,

"Worthy the Lamb."



Soon must we change our place;

Yet will we never cease

Praising his name:

To him our songs we'll bring,

Hail him our gracious King,

And through all ages sing,

"Worthy the Lamb."
