28. Lamb of God! Thou Now Art Seated

8,7.
by J.G. Deck
1
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."
“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.” (Hebrews 1:3)
“I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.” (John 17:4)
2
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.
3
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)
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” (Revelation 22:12)
“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” (Revelation 22:20)
“For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 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)
4
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.
“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” (Matthew 24:30)
“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” (Revelation 5:10)
“And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.” (Revelation 22:5)
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
