"Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain" (Revelation 5:5,6).
Rejoice, the Lion has prevailed
To open up the Book,
Succeeding where all others failed:
We turn with John to look.
Weep not, the Lion now appears
To be the wounded Lamb.
It is the Lord who dries our tears!
Behold, the great I Am!
It is the Lord who longs to be
Within our midst to dwell
With those that He redeemed to free
From sin, from death, and hell.
The Lion is the Lamb once slain
To take away our sin
And make eternal life our gain,
When He has entered in.
This vision of our Lord above
Has filled our hearts with praise:
The Lion and the Lamb speak of
His righteous, loving ways!
