Lyrics

Holy Sav­ior! we adore Thee,
Seated on the throne of God,
While the hea­ven­ly hosts before Thee
Gladly sing Thy praise aloud.
Thou art wor­thy!
We are ran­somed by Thy blood.

Savior! though the world des­pised Thee,
Though Thou here wast cru­ci­fied,
Yet the Fa­ther’s glo­ry raised Thee,
Lord of all cre­ation wide;
Thou art wor­thy!
We shall live, for Thou hast died.

Haste the day of thy re­turn­ing
With Thy ran­somed church to reign;
Then shall end our days of mourn­ing,
We shall sing with rap­ture then,
Thou art wor­thy!
Come, Lord Je­sus, come, Amen.
