Lyrics:

Come let us join our cheerful songs
with angels round the throne:
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.

“Worthy the Lamb that died,” they cry,
“To be exalted, to be exalted thus;”
“Worthy the Lamb” our lips reply,
“For he was slain for us.”

Jesus is worthy to receive
Honor and power divine:
And blessings more than we can give
Be, Lord, forever thine.

The whole creation join in one
to bless the sacred name
of him that sits upon the throne
and to adore the Lamb.

Notes: SATB with Alto and Bass divisi.
