|
<p>All mortal vanities, begone,<br>
|
|
Nor tempt my eyes, nor tire my ears;<br>
|
|
Behold, amidst th’eternal throne,<br>
|
|
A vision of the Lamb appears.</p>
|
|
<p>Glory His fleecy robe adorns,<br>
|
|
Marked with the bloody death He bore;<br>
|
|
Seven are His eyes, and seven His horns,<br>
|
|
To speak His wisdom and His power.</p>
|
|
<p>Lo! He receives a sealèd book<br>
|
|
From Him that sits upon the throne;<br>
|
|
Jesus, my Lord, prevails to look<br>
|
|
On dark decrees and things unknown.</p>
|
|
<p>All the assembling saints around<br>
|
|
Fall worshipping before the Lamb,<br>
|
|
And in new songs of Gospel sound<br>
|
|
Address their honors to His Name.</p>
|
|
<p>The joy, the shout, the harmony,<br>
|
|
Flies o’er the everlasting hills<br>
|
|
“Worthy art Thou alone,” they cry,<br>
|
|
“To read the book, to loose the seals.”
|
|
<p>Our voices join the heav’nly strain,<br>
|
|
And with transporting pleasure sing,<br>
|
|
“Worthy the Lamb that once was slain,<br>
|
|
To be our Teacher and our King!”</p>
|
|
<p>His words of prophecy reveal<br>
|
|
Eternal counsels, deep designs;<br>
|
|
His grace and vengeance shall fulfill<br>
|
|
The peaceful and the dreadful lines.</p>
|
|
<p>Thou hast redeemed our souls from hell<br>
|
|
With Thine invaluable blood;<br>
|
|
And wretches that did once rebel<br>
|
|
Are now made favorites of their God.</p>
|
|
<p>Worthy forever is the Lord,<br>
|
|
That died for treasons not His own,<br>
|
|
By every tongue to be adored,<br>
|
|
And dwell upon His Father’s throne!</p>
