ANTHEM: To the Lamb on the Throne by Dan Forrest; Brass Quintet
Worthy the Lamb. Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim, and publish abroad His wonderful name; the name all victorious of Jesus extol; His kingdom is glorious and rules over all. Worthy the Lamb, “Salvation to God, who sits on the throne!” Let all cry aloud, and honor the Son; the praises of Jesus the angels proclaim, fall down on their faces and worship the Lamb. Worthy the Lamb. God rules in the height, almighty to save; though hid from our sight, His presence we have, the great congregation His triumph shall sing, ascribing salvation to Jesus our King. “Worthy the Lamb” then let us adore and give Him His right, all glory and power, all wisdom and might; all honor and blessing with angels above and thanks never ceasing and infinite love. “Worthy the Lamb!” [“Ye Servants of God” Charles Wesley]
