2848 7. 8 7. D
LAMB of God, Who 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 harp is swelling—
    Worthy is the Lamb to reign!
 
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 them art interceding—
    Everlasting is Thy love—
And a blessèd rest preparing
    In our Father’s house above.
 
3  Lamb of God, Thou soon in glory
    Wilt to this sad earth return;
All Thy foes shall quake before Thee,
    All that now despise Thee, mourn:
Then Thy saints shall rise to meet Thee,
    With Thee in Thy kingdom reign;
Thine the praise and Thine the glory,
    Lamb of God for sinners slain.
 
James George Deck, 1802-84
