Come, let us sing the song of songs

1

Come, let us sing the song of songs,—The angels first began the strain,—The homage which to Christ belongs:"Worthy the Lamb, for he was slain!"

2

Slain to redeem us by his blood,To cleanse from every sinful stain,And make us kings and priests to God:"Worthy the Lamb, for he was slain!"

3

To him who suffered on the tree,Our souls, at his soul's price, to gain,Blessing, and praise, and glory be:"Worthy the Lamb, for he was slain!"

4

To him enthroned by filial rightAll power in heaven and earth proclaim,Honor, and majesty, and might:"Worthy the Lamb, for he was slain!"

5

Long as we live, and when we die,And while in heaven with him we reign,This song our song of songs shall be:"Worthy the Lamb, for he was slain!"
