Description

Revelation chapter 5 gives us an amazing glimpse into what heaven will be like. We will see Christ, the Lamb, adored by millions, saying "Worthy art Thou..." In this song, powerful lyrics combine with a majestic tune and careful repetition to highlight this eternal chant. As we sing, we can imagine the glory of singing in the full presence of our Lord.

Lyrics

Glory to God on high!
Let earth to Heav'n reply,
Angels His love adore,
Who all our sorrows bore;
And saints cry evermore,
Worthy, worthy, worthy the Lamb, worthy the Lamb!

All they around the throne
Cheerfully join in one,
We, who have felt His blood
Sealing our peace with God,
Spread His dear fame abroad;
Worthy, worthy, worthy the Lamb, worthy the Lamb!
Worthy the Lamb, worthy the Lamb!

Join, all the ransomed race,
Our Lord and God to bless;
In Him we will rejoice,
Making a cheerful noise,
Singing with heart and voice,
Worthy, worthy, worthy the Lamb, worthy the Lamb!

Though we must change our place,
His praise shall never cease
To Him our love we'll bring,
Hail Him our glorious King,
And without ceasing sing,
Worthy, worthy, worthy the Lamb, worthy the Lamb!
Worthy the Lamb, worthy the Lamb!

Then let the hosts above,
Praise Him in endless love,
To Him ascribed shall be
Honor and majesty,
Through all eternity,
Worthy, worthy, worthy the Lamb, worthy the Lamb!
Worthy the Lamb, worthy the Lamb!

Words by James Allen (1734-1804). Music by David L. Ward.
