Break forth and sing the song
  Of "Glory to the Lamb !"
     Wake every heart and every tongue
  To praise the Saviour's name.

Sing of His dying love;
  Sing of His rising power;
Song how He intercedes above
  For those whose sins He bore.

Sing on your heavenly road,
  Ye sons of glory, sing;
     To the ascended Lamb of God,
  Your cheerful praises bring.

Soon shall we hear Him say,
  "Ye ransomed pilgrims, come";
     Soon will He call us hence away,
  And take us to His home.

Then shall each raptured tongue
  His fullest praise proclaim;
     And sweeter voices wake the song
  Of "Glory to the Lamb !"

S.M.         Isaac Watts, 1709; altered by W. Hammond, 1745
