Lamb of God! Thou now art seated
 
High upon Thy Father’s throne,
 
All Thy gracious work completed,
 
All Thy mighty victory won.
 
Every knee in heaven is bending
 
To the Lamb for sinners slain;
 
Every voice and heart is swelling,
 
"Worthy is the Lamb to reign."

“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.” (Revelation 5:8-9)

Lord, in all Thy power and glory
 
Still Thy thoughts and eyes are here;
 
Watching o’er Thy ransomed people
 
To Thy gracious heart so dear.
 
Thou for us art interceding,
 
Everlasting is Thy love;
 
And a blessed rest preparing
 
In our Father’s house above.
“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” (1 Peter 5:7)

Lamb of God! Thy faithful promise
 
Says, "Behold, I quickly come";
 
And our hearts, to Thine responsive,
 
Cry, "Come, Lord, and take us home."
 
Oh! the rapture that awaits us
 
When we meet Thee in the air,
 
And with Thee ascend in triumph,
 
All Thy deepest joys to share.
“Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.” (Revelation 22:7)

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” (1 Thessalonians 4:15-18)

Lamb of God! when Thou in glory
 
Shalt to this sad earth return,
 
All Thy foes shall quake before Thee,
 
All who now despise Thee mourn;
 
Then shall we at Thine appearing
 
With Thee in Thy kingdom reign,
 
Thine the praise, and Thine the glory,
 
Lamb of God, for sinners slain.
