"Come, Let Us Join Our Cheerful Songs" by Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Text From: THE HANDBOOK TO THE LUTHERAN HYMNAL (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1942)p.246 1. Come, let us join our cheerful songs With angels round the throne. Ten thousand thousand are their tongues, But all their joys are one. 2. "Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry, "To be exalted thus." "Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply, For He was slain for us. 3. Jesus is worthy to receive Honor and power divine; And blessings more than we can give Be, Lord, forever Thine. 4. Let all creation join in one To bless the sacred name Of Him that sits upon the throne And to adore the Lamb. ________________________________________________________ Notes: Hymn #344 from _The Handbook to the Lutheran Hymnal_ Text: Rev. 5:12 Author: Isaac Watts, 1707, ab.
