Now to the Lamb that once was slain,
Be endless blessings paid;
Salvation, glory, joy, remain
Forever on thy head.

2

Thou wilt redeem us by thy blood,
And set the prisoners free,
And make us kings and priests to God,
And we shall reign with thee.

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «265» (large) in the right column of p. 87, below the music of 264, with the reference line «70, 446, 183.» in bold italic figures beside it (sing to the tune of hymn 70, 446 or 183); two stanzas of four lines and «Anon.» in italics after stanza 2. The first word «NOW» is set in capitals and small capitals. The print sets a thin space before «;» («paid ;»); it is closed up here. Lines 2 and 4 of each stanza are indented in the print. No meter is printed (the text is C. M., 8.6.8.6, like the referenced ZERAH and MAITLAND). Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's («Forever», «wilt»).
