Lamb of God, Thou now art seated

Verse 1

Lamb of God, Thou now art seated high beside Thy Father’s throne; all Thy gracious work completed, all Thy mighty vict'ry won; every knee in heav’n is bending to the Lamb for sinners slain; every voice and harp is swelling- Worthy is the Lamb to reign!

Verse 2

Lord, in all Thy pow’r 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 blessed rest preparing in our Father’s house above.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
