No. 141 Worthy the Lamb, Swp 92
Heptatonic aeolian, mode 2 A + b (I II 3 IV 6 7)
Glory to God on high;
Let earth and skies reply,
Praise ye his name, praise ye his name;
His love and grace adore,
Who all our sorrows bore,
Sing aloud evermore,
Worthy the Lamb, worthy the Lamb.
Jesus, our Lord and God,
Bore sin’s tremendous load,
Praise ye his name, praise ye his name;
Tell what his arm has done,
What spoils from death he won;
Sing his great name alone;
Worthy the Lamb.
While they around the throne
Cheerfully join as one,
Praising his name, praising his name,
Those who have felt his blood
Sealing their peace with God,
Sound his dear fame abroad,
Worthy the Lamb.
Three more stanzas of the text are in the Southern and Western Pocket Harmonist. The tune is attributed to Bradshaw.
