The countless multitude on high,
That tune their songs to Jesus� Name,
All merit of their own deny,
And Jesus� worth alone proclaim.
Firm on the ground of sovereign grace,
They stand before Jehovah�s throne;
The only song in that blest place
Is, �Thou art worthy Thou alone!�
With spotless robes of purest white,
And branches of triumphal palm,
They shout, with transports of delight,
Heaven�s ceaseless, universal psalm:
�Salvation�s glory all be paid
To Him who sits upon the throne,
And to the Lamb
whose blood was shed;
Thou! Thou art worthy! Thou alone!
�For Thou wast slain,
and in Thy blood
These robes were washed
so spotless pure;
Thou mad�st us kings
and priests to God,
For ever let Thy praise endure�
Let us with joy adopt the strain
We soon shall sing for ever there:
�Worthy�s the Lamb for sinners slain,
Worthy alone the crown to wear!�
While thus the ransomed myriads shout,
�Amen!� the holy angels cry�
Amen! Amen! resounds throughout
The boundless regions of the sky.
---Alternative verses---
The countless multitudes on high,
Who tune their songs to Jesus� Name,
All merit of their own deny,
And Jesus� worth alone proclaim.
Firm on the ground of sovereign grace
They stand before Jehovah�s throne;
The new song in that bless�d place
Is, �Thou art worthy, Thou alone!�
