Come, let us join our cheerful songs by Benjamin Milgrove — 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 Come, let us join our cheerful songs
Benjamin Milgrove presents a robust setting of a classic English hymn text. The words speak of heavenly praise, with the angelic hosts joined by earthly voices in adoration of the Lamb. The text's message is one of collective worship and the ultimate worthiness of Christ, reflecting a strong tradition of congregational hymnody. This sacred piece would be fitting for services focused on the sacrifice and exaltation of Christ, offering a powerful expression of faith through familiar and uplifting language.
