1

Come, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels round the throne;
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.

2

Worthy the Lamb who died, they cry,
To be exalted thus;
Worthy the Lamb, our hearts reply,
For he was slain for us.

3

Jesus is worthy to receive
Honor and power divine;
And blessings more than we can give,
Be, Lord, forever thine.

4

To him who reigns in worlds of light,
The eternal King of heaven,
Be honor, majesty, and might,
And praise, and glory given.

5

Let all creation join in one
To bless the sacred name
Of him who sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.
