Music by Jeremiah Clarke, words by Thomas Kelly
Behold the Lamb with glory crowned,
To Him all power be given;
No place too high for Him is found,
No place too high in heaven.
He sits upon the throne above
Its rights to Him belong;
The object of His Father's love,
The theme of heaven's song.
Though high, yet He accepts the praise
His people offer here;
The faintest, feeblest song they raise
Will reach the Savior's ear.
This song be ours; we join as one
To celebrate the name
Of Him who sits upon the throne,
And to exalt the Lamb.
To Him whom men despise and slight
To Him be glory given;
The crown is His, and His by right
The highest place in heaven.
