Blest Lamb of God! with grateful praise
 
Our voices now to Thee we raise — 
 
O’er earth to reign, redeemed by blood,
 
Kingdom and priests are we to God.
“The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29)
“And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!” (John 1:36)
“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers. But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” (1 Peter 1:18-19)
“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” (Revelation 5:10)

Soon, too, in glory shall we sing,
 
And louder praises to Thee bring,
 
While every nation, tongue and tribe,
 
Strength, glory, might, to Thee ascribe!
“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. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands. 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 5:9-12)
 
Amen! Amen!
 
O Lord, Amen!
