8,7.
by S.P. Tregelles
1
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.
“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)
“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.” (Revelation 5:9)
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.
“But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.” (Psalm 22:6)
“He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.” (Isaiah 53:3)
“And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.” (Matthew 27:31)
“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” (Romans 6:4)
“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)
“Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.” (1 Thessalonians 5:10)
3
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.
4
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.
