Lyrics

Worthy is the Lamb! the hosts of Heav­en sing.
As be­fore the throne they make His prais­es ring;
Worthy is the Lamb the book to op­en wide;
Worthy is the Lamb who for us died.

Refrain

Jesus, Lamb of God,
Oh, Je­sus, Lamb of God,
Our pre­cious Lamb of God,
All praise to Him alone!

Worthy is the Lamb, who shed His pre­cious blood
To re­store a world to hap­pi­ness and God;
When no eye could pi­ty and no arm could save,
Jesus’ life for us He free­ly gave.

Refrain

Worthy is the Lamb, the bleed­ing sac­ri­fice
Who for Ad­am’s race paid such a fear­ful price;
Worthy is the Lamb, the Pas­chal Lamb of God,
For the world is saved through His dear blood.

Refrain

Worthy is the Lamb, let men and an­gels sing,
Worthy is the Lamb, let hal­le­lujahs ring;
And when life is past, upon the gold­en shore,
Worthy is the Lamb for­ev­er­more.
