Lamb and Lion

"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... stood a Lamb as it had been slain.... Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing" (Revelation 5:5,6,12).

Behold, the Lion has prevailed:
There is no cause to weep,
For not one promise has He failed
In all His Word to keep!

Behold, the Lion and the Lamb
Are, after all, the same:
He is the Lord, the great "I Am",
Who for redemption came!

Worthy is the Lamb once slain
Of heaven's highest praise
And as the Lion now to reign
For everlasting days!

O Lord, as we behold this sight
In Revelation's Book,
We see the Lion shining bright
As on the Lamb we look.

All glory, Lord, to You belongs
As worship waits in Zion,
And there we'll sing the glorious songs
To Christ, the Lamb and Lion!
