Original text and translations

English text 1. Disciples of Christ, Ye friends of the Lamb, Attend and assist In singing His fame; Eternal thanksgiving The faithful should pay, The living, the living, As we do this day.

2. A body of clay He humbly put on, And then took away The sin we had done; And in it endured The wrath to us due, The curse we incurred, Our stripes and our woe.

3. Not only He died, But also arose, Laid weakness aside, And ever His foes (Sin, death, and the Devil) He triumphed o’er, And every evil, Dominion and power.

4. O merciful Lamb, Who sits on the throne, We bow at Thy name, We count Thee alone Deserving our blessing, And blessing we’ll give, Without ever ceasing, So long as we live.
