Behold the Glories of the Lamb Hymn Lyrics
Behold the glories of the Lamb
Amidst His Father’s throne.
Prepare new honors for His name,
And songs before unknown.
Let elders worship at His feet,
The Church adore around,
With vials full of odors sweet,
And harps of sweeter sound.
Those are the prayers of the saints,
And these the hymns they raise;
Jesus is kind to our complaints,
He loves to hear our praise.
Eternal Father, who shall look
Into Thy secret will?
Who but the Son should take that Book
And open every seal?
He shall fulfill Thy great decrees,
The Son deserves it well;
Lo, in His hand the sovereign keys
Of Heav’n, and death, and hell!
Now to the Lamb that once was slain
Be endless blessings paid;
Salvation, glory, joy remain
Forever on Thy head.
Thou hast redeemed our souls with blood,
Hast set the prisoner free;
Hast made us kings and priests to God,
And we shall reign with Thee.
The worlds of nature and of grace
Are put beneath Thy power;
Then shorten these delaying days,
And bring the promised hour.

Behold the Glories of the Lamb Hymn Story
This is Isaac Watts ‘s first-ever hymn. Isaac Watts was born in 1674. He wrote this around 1688. He was therefore only a teenager when he wrote this hymn.
When Isaac Watts was born, congregation singing involved chanting the psalms direct from the bible. Most people believed that any composition would not be inspired.
Before this hymn was written Isaac Watts argued with his father that singing only Psalms made him miss important New Testament truth.
He, therefore, began composing his own hymns.
He is said to have composed hymns on a weekly basis for his congregation.
Considering that he was only a teenager, it is amazing to note that he had in-depth knowledge of the scripture.
He appears to have studied the bible quite a lot judging by the scriptures employed in this song.
