GLORY to God on high! Let earth to Heaven reply, Praising His name: Angels His love adore, Who all our sorrows bore; And saints cry evermore, ‘Worthy the Lamb!’
All they around the throne Cheerfully join in one, Praising His name: We, who have felt His blood Sealing our peace with God, Spread His dear fame abroad; ‘Worthy the Lamb!’
Join, all the ransomed race, Our Lord and God to bless: Praising His name: In Him we will rejoice, Making a cheerful noise, Singing with heart and voice, ‘Worthy the Lamb!’
Though we must change our place, Yet shall we never cease Praising His name; To Him our love we’ll bring, Hail Him our glorious King, And without ceasing sing, ‘Worthy the Lamb!’
Then let the hosts above, In realms of endless love, Praise His dear name; To Him ascribed shall be Honour and majesty, Through all eternity, ‘Worthy the Lamb!’
James Allen, 1734-1804
