from « Spirituals»
by William Stickles, 1948

 

Worthy, worthy is the Lamb
Is the Lamb, is the Lamb
Worthy, worthy is the Lamb
Sitting on the golden altar 

   John saw.
Oh, John saw
John saw the holy number
Sitting on the golden altar 

Mary wept and Martha cried
Mary wept and Martha cried
Mary wept and Martha cried
Sitting on the golden altar
