“THOU ART WORTHY”

P. van den Berg

Jesus, in Thee we see

In holy majesty

Royalty shine!

Let earth Thee tribute bring,

Blest Firstborn, Lord and King;

In holy worship sing

Praise, rightly Thine.

Worthy art Thou the crown,

Thine only the renown,

Triumphant One!

In brightest glory now

Who once in death didst bow;

In that most dreadful hour

Victory hast won.

How wondrous the display

In earth’s millennial day

When Thou dost reign!

Worthy, Man of God’s choice!

Let heav’n and earth rejoice,

In love obey Thy voice,

Blest Lamb, once slain!

More glorious than Thy sway

Is God’s eternal day

Where Thou shalt be

God’s Centre, ever blest,

God, all in all, at rest,

His love in Thee expressed

Eternally.
