The Throne

The whole creation join as one,

To bless the Great I Am

The One who sits upon the throne,

And to adore the Lamb.

His name is called Ancient of Days

Worthy of all honor and praise

Who dares refuse to fear thy name,

Or worship at thy throne?

Thy judgments speak thine holiness

Through all the nations known.

His name is called the Judge of men

His righteous rulings none defend.

Jesus, we bless thy Father's name;

Who is from age to age the same;

What heav'nly blessings from his throne

Flow down to sinners through his Son!

His name is called Immanuel

With us evermore to dwell.

Jesus, Son of God, shall sit

High on his father David's throne;

Shall crush his foes beneath his feet,

And reign to ages yet unknown.

He shall be called Messiah King

The ruler over everything.

The sovereign King of kings,

The Lord of lords most high,

Writes his own name upon

His garment and his thigh:

His name is called The Word of God;

He rules the earth with iron rod.

And now may we, His children dear

Boldly approach the throne of grace

His beloved bride he draws us near

That we may worship face to face

His name is called the Church's head

And by his hand our souls are fed.

Now we approach a spotless God,

And bow before his throne

Our instruments and sacred songs

Rehearse the faithfulness we’ve known

His Name is called Lord Adonai

Now lifted high and glorified.

After Isaac Watts
