WORTHY is the LAMB
O Jesus my Saviour, I fain would embrace,
Thy name and thy nature thy spirit and grace,
And trace the fair footsteps of Jesus my Lord,
And glory to him whom the nations abhorr'd.
O wonder of wonders! astonish'd I gaze,
To see in the manger the Ancient of Days,
And angels proclaiming the stranger forlorn,
And telling the shepherds that Jesus is born.
My God, my Creator, the Heavens did bow,
To ransom offenders he stoop'd very low;
My spirit rejoices, the work it is done,
My soul is redeem'd, and salvation is won.
O help me ye angels, his love to proclaim,
From realms of high glory most joyful he came;
For thousands of sinners the Lord bow'd his head,
For thousands of sinners he groan'd and he bled.
Our God is returned to his glory on high,
All worthy the Lamb is the theme of the sky;
Let earth join with Heaven and sing with acclaim,
Hallelujah to God, and all worthy the Lamb.
