Praise To the Lamb

John Cennick • English

Primary Scripture: 1 Chronicles 16:31

Verse 1

Not unto us, but thee alone, Blest Lamb, be glory giv'n! Here shall thy praises be begun, And carried on in heav'n.

Verse 2

The host of spirits now with thee, Eternal Anthems sing: To imitate them here, lo! we, Our Hallelujahs bring.

Verse 3

Had we our tongues like them inspir'd, Like theirs our songs should rise; Like them we never should be tir'd, But love the sacrifice.

Verse 4

Till we the veil of flesh lay down, Accept our weaker lays; And when we reach thy Father's throne We'll give thee nobler praise.
