125. Behold the Lamb With Glory Crowned

C.M.
by T. Kelly
1
Behold the Lamb with glory crowned!
 
To Him all power be given;
 
No place too high for Him is found,
 
No place too high in heaven.
“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” (Hebrews 2:9)
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” (Revelation 4:11)
“Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.” (Revelation 5:12)
2
He fills the throne — the throne above,
 
He fills it without wrong;
 
The object of His Father’s love,
 
Theme of the ransomed’s song.
“He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)” (Ephesians 4:10)
“As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.” (John 15:9)
“And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation. And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” (Revelation 5:6-10)

Though high yet He accepts the praise
 
His people offer here;
 
The faintest, feeblest cry they raise
 
Will reach the Savior’s ear.
“By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” (Hebrews 13:15-16)
“For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.” (1 Peter 3:12)
“The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.” (Psalm 34:15)
4
This song be ours, and this alone,
 
To celebrate the name
 
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
 
And to exalt the Lamb.
“Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens.” (Hebrews 8:1)
5
To Him whom men despise and slight,
 
To Him be glory given;
 
The crown is His, and His by right
 
The highest place in heaven.
“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.” (John 15:18)
“If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.” (John 15:24-25)
“Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honor, and didst set him over the works of thy hands. Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” (Hebrews 2:7-9)
