Text: | Come, let us sing the song of songs |
Author: | James Montgomery |
Tune: | RUSSIA |
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 right
All 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!"
