Lyrics:

Antiphon: This is the feast of victory for our God. Alleluia, alleluia!
1. Worthy is Christ, the Lamb who was slain, whose blood set us free to be people of God.
2. Power, riches, wisdom and strength, and honor, blessing, and glory are his.
3. Sing with all the people of God, and join in the hymn of all creation.
4. Blessing, honor, glory and might be to God and the Lamb for ever. Amen.

Notes: A festive hymn or song of praise for unison voices, congregation, and organ; optional brass and percussion. This is the same setting as found in The Hymnal 1982, no. 418. The instrumental version is scored for 3 trumpets, horn, 2 trombones, cymbals, and timpani. The full score also includes a set of parts for brass sextet and percussion.
