LAMB of God, Who now art seated High upon Thy Father’s throne, All Thy gracious work completed, All Thy mighty victory won; Every knee in Heaven is bending To the Lamb for sinners slain; Every voice and harp is swelling— Worthy is the Lamb to reign!
Lord, in all Thy power and glory, Still Thy thoughts and eyes are here; Watching o’er Thy ransomed people, To Thy gracious heart so dear; Thou for them art interceding— Everlasting is Thy love— And a blessèd rest preparing In our Father’s house above.
Lamb of God, Thou soon in glory Wilt to this sad earth return; All Thy foes shall quake before Thee, All that now despise Thee, mourn: Then Thy saints shall rise to meet Thee, With Thee in Thy kingdom reign; Thine the praise and Thine the glory, Lamb of God for sinners slain.
James George Deck, 1802-84
