Come Let Us Sing the Song of Songs

Verse 1

Come let us sing the song of songs, The song which saints in glory sing; The homage which to Christ belongs, To-day let babes and sucklings bring.

Verse 2

Youth in its prime, and failing Age, With hearts and voices swell the strain, To cheer their steps on pilgrimage, "Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!"

Verse 3

Slain to redeem us by His blood, To cleanse from every sinful stain, And make us kings and priests to God, "Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!"

Verse 4

To Him who suffer'd on the tree, Our souls at His soul's price to gain, Blessing, and praise, and glory be: "Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!"

Verse 5

To Him, enthroned by filial right, All power in heaven and earth pertain, Honour, and majesty, and might: "Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!"

Verse 6

Come, Holy Spirit, from on high, Our faith, our hope, our love sustain, Living to sing, and dying cry, "Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!"

Verse 7

Yea, in eternity of bliss, If call'd through grace with Him to reign, Our song--our song of songs, be this, "Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!"
