Lyics

BEHOLD the glories of the Lamb

Amidst His Father's throne;

Prepare new honors for His name,

And songs before unknown.



Let elders worship at His feet,

The church adore around,

With vials full of odors sweet,

And harps of sweeter sound.



Now to the Lamb that once was slain

Be endless blessings paid;

Salvation, glory, joy remain

Forever on Thy head!



Thou hast redeem'd our souls with blood,

Hast set the pris'ners free;

Hast made us kings and priests to God,

And we shall reign with Thee.
