429: TO Him who suffered on the tree

429: TO Him who suffered on the tree

by James Montgomery (1771-1854)

1 TO Him who suffered on the tree
Our souls at His soul's price to gain,
Blessing, and praise, and glory be:
Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain.

2 He hath redeemed us by His blood,
Hath cleansed from every sinful stain,
And made us kings and priests to God:
Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain.

3 To Him, enthroned by every right,
All power in heaven and earth proclaim;
Honour, and majesty, and might:
Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain.
