Verse 1: Glory be to Him who loved us, Washed us from each sinful stain; Glory be to Him who made us Priests and kings with Him to reign; Glory, worship, laud and blessing To the Lamb who once was slain. Verse 2: Glory, worship, laud and blessing, Thus the choir triumphant sings; Honor, riches, power, dominion, Thus its praise creation brings; Thou art worthy, Thou art worthy, Lord of lords, and King of kings.
