Behold The Lamb With Glory Crowned

by Thomas Kelly (1769-1854)


Tune: Paraclete C.M.


1 BEHOLD the Lamb with glory crowned,
To Him all power be given;
No place too high for Him is found,
No place too high in heaven.

2 He fills the throne, the throne above,
Its rights to Him belong;
The object of His Father's love,
Theme of the ransomed's song.

3 Though high yet He accepts the praise
His people offer here;
The faintest, feeblest cry they raise
Will reach the Saviour's ear.

4 This song be ours, and this alone,
To celebrate the name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to exalt the Lamb.

5 To Him whom men despise and slight
To Him be glory given;
The crown is His, and His by right
The highest place in heaven.

The third and forth lines of the first verse put me in mind of Isaiah 57: "One who inhabits eternity and dwells in a high and holy place" but also dwells in those of a contrite and humble heart . What wonderful comfort these words give. A truly wonderful hymn.
