From heaven the loud, the angelic song began, | |||
It shook the skies and reached astonished man; | |||
By man re-echoed, it shall mount again, | |||
While fragrant odors fill the blissful plain. | |||
Worthy, worthy the Lamb of boundless sway, | |||
In earth or heaven the Lord of all. | |||
Ye princes, rulers, powers obey, | |||
And low before His footstool fall. | |||
The deed was done, the Lamb was slain, | |||
The groaning earth the burden bore, | |||
He rose, He lives! He lives to reign, | |||
Nor time shall shake His endless power.}} | |||

{{Text|Simple| | |||
Riches and all that deck the great | |||
From world unnumbered hither bring; | |||
The tribute pour before His feet, | |||
And hail the triumphs of our King. | |||
Wisdom and strength are His alone, | |||
He raised the topstone, shouting grace, | |||
Honor has built His lofty throne, | |||
And glory shines upon His face. | |||
From heaven, from earth, loud bursts of praise, | |||
The mighty blessings shall proclaim | |||
Blessings that earth to glory raise | |||
The purchase of the wounded Lamb.}} | |||

Higher, still higher, swell the strain, | |||
Creation's voice the note prolong, | |||
The Lamb shall ever, ever reign. | |||
Let Hallelujahs crown the song. | |||
Hallelujah, Amen.}} | |||
