This song was part of two of the services I attended today at Epping Presbyterian Church in Sydney.
(As was a helpful sermon on Psalm 37 that I heard twice.)
It’s a part of the EMU catalogue that’s been around for a little while now.
EMU have recorded it a couple of times and creator Michael Morrow has featured it on his own album.
I may have to revisit it, because it works pretty well.
There’s a repeat line in the verses that can be a little tricky at first.

The lyrics:
1
Come hear the angels sing:
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain”
Gathering ’round the throne
“Hail the Son of Man,
hail the Son of Man”
Not for their sin he died
It was no angel crucified
And yet they hold him in their sight
And live to praise their Lord!
2
Come hear the elders sing
As they fall in praise to the Lamb
Bowing before the throne
Laying down their crowns
Laying down their crowns
They praise him for his blood
With which he purchased men for God
They praise the Saviour of the world
The Lamb, he is their Lord!
Refrain
Hear the heavens shout:
“Worthy is the Lamb”
All creation bows
Giving glory to the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
3
What is the song we’ll sing
As we join in heaven with our God?
A people from every land
Crowding ’round the Lamb
Crowding round the Lamb?
We’ll sing salvation’s song
How many million voices strong!
We’ll sing the glory of our King,
Of Jesus Christ our Lord!
Refrain
Hear the heavens shout…
