Hark, how the adoring hosts above

Verse 1

Verse 2

Worthy the Lamb that died, they cry, to be exalted thus; worthy the Lamb, let us reply; for he was slain for us.

Verse 3

Thou hast redeemed us with thy blood, and set the prisoners free; thou mad'st us kings and priests to God, and we shall reign with thee.

Verse 4

From every kindred, every tongue, thou brought'st thy chosen race; and distant lands and isles have shared the riches of thy grace.

Verse 5

To him who sits upon the throne, the God whom we adore, and to the Lamb that once was slain, be glory evermore.
