Hymns using same tune:

Tune 2: #1096, #1277

 

 1  'Tis the Church triumphant singing,

          Worthy the Lamb;

    Heav'n throughout with praises ringing,

          Worthy the Lamb.

    Thrones and pow'rs before Him bending,

    Odors sweet with voice ascending

    Swell the chorus never ending,

          Worthy the Lamb.

 

 2  Every kindred, tongue and nation,

          Worthy the Lamb;

    Join to sing the great salvation,

          Worthy the Lamb.

    Loud as mighty thunders roaring,

    Floods of mighty waters pouring,

    Prostrate at His feet adoring,

          Worthy the Lamb.

 

 3  Harps and songs forever sounding,

          Worthy the Lamb;

    Mighty grace o'er sin abounding,

          Worthy the Lamb.

    By His blood He dearly bought us;

    Wand'ring from the fold He sought us,

    And to glory safely brought us;

          Worthy the Lamb.

 

 4  Sing with blest anticipation

          Worthy the Lamb;

    Through the vale of tribulation,

          Worthy the Lamb.

    Sweetest notes, all notes excelling,

    On the theme forever dwelling,

    Still untold, though ever telling,

          Worthy the Lamb.
