Come Let Us Join Our Cheerful Songs - Traditional

Come, let us join our cheerful songs
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';
'Worthy the Lamb,' our hearts reply,
'For He was slain for us.'

Jesus is worthy to receive
Honor and power divine;
And blessings more than we can give
Be, Lord, forever Thine.

Let all that dwell above the sky,
And air, and earth, and seas,
Conspire to lift Thy glories high,
And speak Thine endless praise.

The whole creation join in one
To bless the sacred name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.

Come Let Us Join Our Cheerful Songs lyrics were written by Isaac Watts and are based on the vision of worship in the Book of Revelation. The song focuses on the Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength. It bridges the gap between the worship of the church on earth and the eternal choir of heaven. By singing these lyrics the congregation joins a cosmic celebration of the Saviors victory and divinity fostering a spirit of joy and uncontained gratitude for the redemption that Christ has brought to all nations and generations.
