Text: | Come let us join our cheerful songs |
Author: | Watts |
Tune: | WOBURN |
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 that died," they cry,
"To be exalted thus."
"Worthy the Lamb," our lips 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, for ever Thine.
4 Let all that dwell above the sky,
And air, and earth, and seas,
Conspire to lift Thy glories high,
And speak Thine endless praise!
5 Let whole creation join in one,
To bless the sacred Name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.
