Hymns for Youth ‎#102

102. Come, Let Us Join Our Cheerful Songs

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,
"And He was slain for us."

3. Thou, Christ, art worthy to receive
Honor and power divine;
And blessing, more than we can give
Be, Lord, forever thine.

4. Let all that dwell above the sky
And air and earth and seas
Conspire to lift thy glories high
And speak thy endless praise.

5. The whole creation join in one
To bless the sacred name
Of Him who sits upon the throne,
And to adore the lamb.
