Brattle Square by William Billings — Lyrics
Come, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels round the throne;
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.
"Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry,
"To be exalted thus:"
"Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply,
"For he was slain for us."
Jesus is worthy to receive
Honour and power divine;

About Brattle Square
William Billings's Brattle Square is a jubilant setting of a familiar hymn text. Its SATB voicing and English language make it suitable for a wide range of church choirs. The text expresses profound devotion, celebrating the Lamb's sacrifice and exalting Jesus as worthy of all honour and power. It calls for a unified praise, with all creation joining in adoration. This piece would be an excellent choice for services focusing on redemption, sacrifice, or general thanksgiving, offering a powerful expression of congregational and heavenly praise.
