1 3 4 GLORY to GOD on high! Let earth and skies reply; Worthy the LAMB. JESUS Our LORD and GOD, Tell what His arm hath done, While saints around the throne Praising His name; Ye who believe His blood Doth seal your peace with GOD, Then let the hosts above, To him ascribed be Honor and majesty, Thro' all eternity Worthy the LAMB.

The LORD, who all our foes o'ercame ; The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew, And JESUS is the Conq'ror's name. 5 Lo!
