Thou art worthy, O Lord, *
to receive glory and honour and power:
for thou hast created all things, *
and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Thou art worthy to take the book, *
and to open the seals thereof:
for thou wast slain, *
and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: *
and we shall reign on the earth.
Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, *
and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Splendor and honor and kingly power *
are yours by right, O Lord our God,
For you created everything that is, *
and by your will they were created and have their being;
And yours by right, O Lamb that was slain, *
for with your blood you have redeemed for God,
From every family, language, people, and nation, *
a kingdom of priests to serve our God.
And so, to him who sits upon the throne, *
and to Christ the Lamb,
Be worship and praise, dominion and splendor, *
for ever and for evermore.
