Lyrics

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

Worthy the Lamb that died, they cry,
To be exal­ted thus!
Worthy the Lamb, our hearts re­ply,
For He was slain for us!

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

Let all that dwell above the sky,
And air and earth and seas,
Conspire to lift Thy glo­ries high,
And speak Thine end­less praise!

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