Holy Saviour! We adore Thee,
Seated on the throne of God;
While the heavenly hosts before Thee
Gladly sing Thy praise aloud,
|:Thou art worthy!:|
We are ransomed by Thy blood.
Saviour! Though the world
despised Thee,
Though Thou here wast crucified,
Yet the Father’s glory raised Thee,
Lord of all creation wide;
|:Thou art worthy!:|
We shall live, for Thou hast died.
And though here on earth rejected,
‘Tis but fellowship with Thee;
What besides could be expected,
Than like Thee our Lord to be?
|:Thou art worthy!:|
Thou from earth hast set us free.
Haste the day of Thy returning
With Thy ransomed Church to reign;
Then shall end our days of mourning,
We shall sing with rapture then:
|:Thou art worthy!:|
Come, Lord Jesus, come!
---Alternative verses---
Holy Saviour, we adore Thee
Seated on the throne of God;
Soon in glory all before Thee
Shall proclaim Thy praise abroad;
|:Thou art worthy!:|
We were ransomed by Thy blood.
And though here on earth rejected,
'Tis but fellowship with Thee;
Should we not with joy expect it
Here like Thee, our Lord, to be?
|:Thou art worthy!:|
Thou from earth hast set us free.
