456. "Lamb of God!"

1 Lamb of God! thou now art seated
High upon thy Father’s throne;
All thy gracious work completed,
All thy mighty victory won:
Every knee in heaven is bending
To the Lamb for sinners slain;
Every voice and harp is swelling,--
"Worthy is the Lamb to reign."

2 Lord! in all thy power and glory,
Still thy thoughts and eyes are here,
Watching o’er thy ransomed people,
To thy gracious heart so dear.
Thou for us art interceding;
Everlasting is thy love;
And a blessèd rest preparing,
In our Father’s house above.

3 Lamb of God! thou soon in glory
Wilt to this sad earth return;
All thy foes shall quake before thee,
All that now despise thee mourn:
Then thy saints too shall attend thee,
With thee in thy kingdom reign;
Thine the praise, and thine the glory,
Lamb of God, for sinners slain!
