1 Hark! the voice of countless thousands singing:
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain!”
All the mighty hosts of heaven joining:
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain!”

Hear the heav’nly chorus ringing,
Round the throne forever singing,
Worthy is the Lamb, worthy is the Lamb,
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain!

2 Who will join to chant the wondrous story:
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain!”
Who will join the choirs of highest glory:
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain!” [Refrain]

3 Let each heart be fill’d with emulation!
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain!”
Let them chant the notes of full salvation! [Refrain]

4 Life or death eternal, everlasting:
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain!”
Honor, glory, riches, pow’r and blessing,
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain!” [Refrain]
