Worthy is the Lamb (George Frideric Handel)


Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, 
and hath redeemed us to God by his Blood, 
to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, 
and strength, and honour, 
 and glory, and blessing. 
Blessing and honour, glory and power, 
be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, 
and unto the Lamb, 
for ever and ever. 
Amen. 

To hear Worthy is the Lamb and Amen from Handel’s Messiah, performed at Join to Sing the Great Creation, St. Olaf College, Minnesota, click on the video below:
