WORTHY.

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created.—Revelation, iv. 11.

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.—Revelation, v. 12.

With angels round the throne,

Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,

But all their joys are one.

“Worthy the Lamb that died,” they cry,

“To be exalted thus!”
