Worthy the Lamb of endless praise

Verse 1
Worthy the Lamb of endless praise,
Whose double life we here shall prove,
The pard’ning and the hallowing grace,
The childish and the perfect love.

Verse 2
We here shall gain our calling’s prize,
The gift unspeakable receive,
And higher still in death arise,
And all the life of glory live.

Verse 3
To make our right and title sure,
Our dying Lord himself hath given,
His sacrifice did all procure,
Pardon, and holiness, and heaven.

Verse 4
Our life of grace we here shall feel
Shed in our loving hearts abroad,
’Till Christ our glorious life reveal,
Long hidden with himself in God.

Verse 5
Come dear Redeemer of mankind,
We long thy open face to see,
Appear, and all who seek shall find
Their bliss consummated in thee.

Verse 6
Thy presence shall the cloud dispart,
Thy presence shall the life display,
Then, then our all in all thou art,
Our fullness of eternal day.
