A HYMN FOR EASTER
Thou Art Worthy, Lord

Thou, Thou art worthy, Lord, Of most untiring praise; The Lamb once slain shall be adored Through everlasting days.
Heaven’s vault with praise shall ring Louder and yet more loud; Millions of saints Thy worth shall sing Each heart in worship bowed.
Worthy! again, again – Angels with saints combine, Ascribing to the Lamb once slain Wisdom and power divine. The tide shall still roll on, That tide of endless praise, Till every creature to Thy throne Its voice in blessing raise.
O Lord, the glad new song Is ours e’en here to sing; With loyal heart and joyful tongue We now our homage bring.
“Worthy!” we cry again, “Worthy for evermore!” And at Thy feet, O Lamb once slain, We worship, we adore.

By Catherine Helene von Poseck (1859-1953)
