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."
Jesus is worthy to receive
Honour and power divine;
And blessings more than we can give
Be, Lord, for ever Thine.
Let all that dwells above the sky,
And air, and earth, and seas,
Conspire to lift thy glories high,
And speak Thine endless praise.
The whole creation joins in one,
To bless the sacred name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.
---Alternative verses---
Come let us join our cheerful songs
And thus approach the throne;
Had we ten thousand, thousand tongues,
Our theme of joys but one.
Worthy the Lamb enthroned on high,
To be exalted thus;
Worthy the Lamb who died, we cry,,
For He was slain for us.
"Worthy the Lamb that died!" they cry,
"To be exalted thus";
"Worthy the Lamb!" our hearts reply,
"For He was slain for us."
Soon shall the saints, exalted high,
A glorious anthem raise;
And all that dwell beneath the sky
Speak forth Thine endless praise.
Let all that dwell above the sky,
And air, and earth, and seas,
Conspire to lift thy glories high,
And speak Thy endless praise.
