Revelation 5

 
 1 

The saints throughout the centuries

Have praised the Lord that He,

The Lamb of God, has saved us,

From sin has set us free;

Yet scarcely for the Lion

Have we yet sounded praise,

Though oft for our redemption

We've all our voices raised.

 
 2 

John wept as he considered

That none the right did own

The scroll to take and open,

God's myst'ry to make known;

No, none on earth nor heaven,

Nor universe around —

And we, too, would be weeping

If none were worthy found.

 
 3 

The universe, mysterious,

Would be in darkness still,

Could none break through to open

The scroll, to show God's will;

But, lo, the worthy Lion

Of Judah hath prevailed

The seven seals to open,

And have the scroll unveiled.

 
 4 

No longer now in darkness

God's secret is enclosed,

But to our inner vision

It's open, full, disclosed;

Our hearts are for this purpose,

Our lives are for His plan;

And for this revelation

We praise the Lion-Lamb!

 
 5 

The four-and-twenty elders

All fall before that sight.

The living creatures praise Him,

Who rest not, day nor night.

So let us join their praises

To Him who loosed God's plan;

We'll lift with theirs our voices

To praise the Lion-Lamb!
