1 Lamb of God, You now are seated
high upon your Father’s throne;
all Your gracious work completed,
all Your mighty vict'ry won;
every knee in heav’n is bending
to the Lamb for sinners slain;
every voice and harp is swelling-
Worthy is the Lamb to reign!
2 Lord, in all Your pow’r and glory,
still Your Youghts and eyes are here;
watching o’er Your ransomed people,
to Your gracious heart so dear;
You for us are interceding;
everlasting is Your love-
and a blessed rest preparing
in our Father’s house above.
3 Lamb of God, Your faithful promise
says, “Behold, I quickly come,”
and our hearts, to Yours responsive,
cry, “Come, Lord, and take us home.”
Oh, the rapture that awaits us,
when we meet You in the air,
and with You ascend in triumph,
all Your deepest joys to share.
4 Lamb of God, when You in glory
shalt to this sad earth return,
all Your foes shall quake before You,
all who now despise You mourn;
then shall we at Yours appearing,
with You in Your kingdom reign;
Yours the praise, and Yours the glory,
Lamb of God for sinners slain.
