Hymn
Come Let Us Sing the Song of Songs
Come, let us sing the song of songs,--
The saints in heaven began the strain--
The homage which to Christ belongs:
"Worthy the Lamb, for he was slain!"
Slain to redeem us by his blood,
To cleanse from every sinful stain,
And make us kings and priests to God--
"Worthy the Lamb, for he was slain!"
To him, enthroned by filial right,
All power in heaven and earth proclaim,
Honor, and majesty, and might:
"Worthy the Lamb, for he was slain!"
Long as we live, and when we die,
And while in heaven with him we reign:
This song, our song of songs shall be:
"Worthy the Lamb, for he was slain!"
