Honour to the Lamb

 Honour to the Lamb

All honour to the Lamb upon the throne!

The perfect sacrifice for sin,for us, alone.

The spotless One who took our guilty stain,

That we might live,and endless life obtain.

Honour to the Lamb!

Behold the One who was, and is, to come,

The Root of David,God’s own holy Son.

He stands as One who bears the marks of slaughter,

Our great Redeemer,by whose blood we’re bought.

“Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29)

Honour for His silence, like a sheep before the shearer.

Honour for the anguish that drew heaven nearer.

Honour for the crimson tide from His own veins,

That broke the curse and shattered death’s cold chains.

Now crowned with glory, wielding Heaven’s scroll,

Worthy is the Lamb to make the wounded whole!

To every tribe and tongue,His grace extends—

The Lamb who was slain is now the King of friends.

Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and praise! (Revelation 5:12)

So let creation’s chorus swell and ring,

Let every breath and every living thing

Fall down before Him,cast their crowns in space,

And magnify the glory of His grace.

For He has conquered! Hell is overthrown!

His victory is ours,and His renown.

With angels,elders, creatures, and the saved,

We lift one cry,by endless love enslaved:

“Honour! Glory! Power! Blessing!

To the Lamb who gives us rest!

To the King of every kingdom—

All our worship, first and best!”

Amen. Hallelujah.
