Tune: Helmsley
('Lo, He comes with clouds descending')
Revelation 5 v.4-14 parts
The 5th syllable of the fourth line of each verse
is a 'longer note' as in bold type.
***********
Only the Lamb of God worthy
He Jesus, Son of God be
Worthy to unloose the sealed book
And upon it there to look
Praises, rejoicing
Praises, rejoicing
Praises, rejoicing
To the Lamb melodies ring
He did take the book from Him who
Sat on the throne, did Him view
He be God Almighty reigning
Beasts, elders round throne did bring
Prayers and praises
Prayers and praises
Prayers and praises
Gold incense bowls each raises
They sang a new song, and saying
You worthy, Lamb, in each thing
To open the book, seals undo
Have redeemed us to God true
Salvation now
Salvation now
Salvation now
You died and rose, this is how
John did hear voice, many angels
With elders and beasts, each tells
Of His glory, great millions
Joining with God's daughters, sons
Saying, loud voice
Saying, loud voice
Saying, loud voice
We praise you, make you our choice
Said, Worthy the Lamb that was slain
To receive from us again
Power, riches, wisdom, honour
Strength, glory, and blessings sure
Heaven's arches ringing
Heaven's arches ringing
Heaven's arches ringing
With the tributes that they bring
Every creature in heaven, earth
And under earth, give Him worth
And all in the sea do join in
Renewed praise to Him begin
All enraptured
All enraptured
All enraptured
By His presence they captured
Blessing, honour, glory, power
To God be, e'en each hour
And to His Son, the Lamb for ever
His kingdom shall fail never
Scene immortal
Scene immortal
Scene immortal
Come to worship, one and all
