Forever worthy is Thy Lamb by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky — Lyrics
Forever worthy is Thy Lamb,
for He is truth and light.
Beautiful, beautiful are His ways.
Forever bless'd is He.
His is glory without end.
Beloved of God is He.
Cherubic angels sound His praise above,

About Forever worthy is Thy Lamb
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's sacred motet, Forever worthy is Thy Lamb, is written for SATB choir and sung in English. The text speaks of the unending glory and worthiness of Christ, His incorruptible birth, and the longing of the soul to be like Him. It describes the praise offered by cherubic and seraphic angels, creating a vision of heavenly worship. Tchaikovsky’s setting captures the profound reverence and ecstatic praise called for in the devotional text, offering a moving expression of faith for a choir.
