Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. Revelation 5:12.
O Lord! how mean and slight notions have I often of thy great power; by these I am discouraged, and thou art robbed of thy praise: grant, therefore, that though I would always be duly debased, and convinced of my nothingness, in such a manner as never to ascribe any good to myself, or thinking myself worthy of the least thing to the prejudice of thine honour; yet thy grace and power may at the same time appear to me abundantly greater than all my sins, so that I may have always encouragement enough to believe in and praise thy holy name.
Come let us join our cheerful songs.
With angels round the throne,
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.
Worthy the Lamb that died, they cry,
To be exalted thus;
Worthy the Lamb, our lips reply.
For he was slain for us.
Let all that dwell above the sky,
And air, and earth, and seas,
Conspire to lift his glories high,
And speak his endless praise.
The whole creation join in one.
To bless the sacred name
Of him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.
