Behold the Lamb with glory crowned!
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A Christocentric hymn by Irish hymn-writer Thomas Kelly celebrating the exaltation and reign of Christ at the Father's right hand, and His willingness to receive even the faintest praise from His people.
Verse 1
Behold the Lamb with glory crowned!
To Him all power is given;
No place too high for Him is found,
No place too high in heaven.
Verse 2
He fills the throne—the throne above,
He fills it without wrong;
The object of His Father's love,
The theme of angels' song.
Verse 3
Though high, yet He accepts the praise
His people offer here;
The faintest, feeblest lay they raise
Will reach the Saviour's ear.
Verse 4
This song be ours, and this alone,
That celebrates the Name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And that exalts the Lamb.
Verse 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.
