Holy Savior, we adore Thee,
 
Seated on the throne of God;
 
Soon in glory, all before Thee
 
Shall proclaim Thy praise abroad:
 
"Thou art worthy,"
 
We were ransomed by Thy blood.

2
Savior, though the world despised Thee,
 
Though Thou here wast crucified,
 
Yet the Father’s glory raised Thee,
 
Lord of all creation wide.
 
"Thou art worthy,"
 
We shall live, for Thou hast died.

And though here on earth rejected,
 
’Tis but fellowship with Thee;
 
Should we not with joy expect it — 
 
Here like Thee, our Lord, to be?
 
"Thou art worthy,"
 
Thou from earth hast set us free.

Haste the day of Thine appearing
 
With Thy ransomed saints to reign;
 
Then shall end all days of mourning,
 
We shall sing with triumph then.
 
"Thou art worthy,"
 
Come, Lord Jesus, come, Amen.
“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” (Revelation 20:6)
