To the Lamb that was slain.
REV. v. 6-12.

2 Let elders worship at His feet,
The church adore around,
With vials full of odors sweet,

And harps of sweeter sound.

3 Those are the prayers of all the saints, And these the hymns they raise: Jesus is kind to our complaints,

He loves to hear our praise.

4 Now to the Lamb that once was slain,
Be endless blessings paid;
Salvation, glory, joy remain
Forever on Thy head.

5 Thou hast redeemed our souls with blood, Hast set the prisoners free,

Hast made us kings and priests to God, And we shall reign with Thee.

Rev. Isaac Watts, 1709. Ab.

The Gates opened.

I COME, let us lift our joyful eyes
Up to the courts above,
And smile to see our Father there,
Upon a throne of love.

2 Now we may bow before His feet,
And venture near the Lord:
No fiery cherub guards His seat,
Nor double flaming sword.

2 Crown Him, ye morning stars of light, Who fixed this floating ball;

Hail Him, who saves you by His grace, And crown Him Lord of all.

And crown Him Lord of all.

3 Crown Him, ye martyrs of your God, Who from His altar call; Extol the stem of Jesse's rod,

And crown Him Lord of all.

4 Ye seed of Israel's chosen race,

Ye ransomed of the fall,

MILES LANE. C. M.

The wormwood and the gall, Go, spread your trophies at His feet, And crown Him Lord of all.

6 Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all.
