Before the Savior’s Heav’nly Throne

Before the Savior’s heav’nly throne, angels sing;
They worship Him, the Holy One, Mighty King.
Ten thousand times ten thousand, they loudly say:
“O worthy is the Lamb, Alleluia, Amen!”

With string-ed harps and golden bowls, bowing down,
They sing a new song to the Lord–-worthy Crown!
From ev’ry tribe and nation, by His own blood;
He has redeemed His people, Alleluia, Amen!

O worthy is the Lamb of God, Who was slain;
Who is, and was, and is to come—bless His Name;
All praise and honor be to Him, upon the throne;
And to the Lamb forever, Alleluia, Amen!

All glory be to God alone, Sacred Three;
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Trinity.
Let all on earth and heav’n above, with shouts of joy,
Sing of God’s gracious favor, Alleluia, Amen!
