"Worthy the Lamb!" our lips reply;
"For He was slain for us."
Jesus is worthy to receive
Honour and pow'r divine;
And blessings, more than we can give,
Be, Lord, for ever Thine.
The whole creation join in one,
To bless the sacred name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.
HYMN 19.
Come let us to the Lord our God,
With contrite hearts return;
Our God is gracious, nor will leave
The desolate to mourn.
Long hath the night of sorrow reign'd,
The dawn shall bring us light;
God shall appear and we shall rise
With gladness in His sight.
Our hearts, if God we seek to know,
Shall know Him and rejoice;
His coming like the morn shall be,
Like morning songs His voice.
So shall His presence bless our souls,
And shed a joyful light;
That hallow'd morn shall chase away
The sorrows of the night.
HYMN 20.
Come, weary souls, with sin distress'd,
Come, and accept the promis'd rest;
