The Lamb upon his throne,
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns
Of him who died for thee,
And hail him as thy matchless King
Who triumphed o′er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife
For those he came to save.
Who died, and rose on high,
Who died, eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.
Whose power a scepter sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
And all be prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end,
And round his pierced feet
Fair flowers of paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.
Behold his hands and side,
Those wounds, yet visible above,
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For thou hast died for me;
Thy praise and glory shall not fail
