893 A Song to the Lamb (Dignus es): Canticle 18

1 Splendor and honor and kingly [royal] power are yours by right, O Lord our God. [God Most High]

2 For you created everything that is, and by your will they were created and have their being;

3 And yours by right, O Lamb that was slain, for with your blood you have redeemed for God,

4 From every family, language, people, and nation, a kingdom of priests [royal priesthood] to serve our God.

5 And so, to him [the One] who sits upon the throne, and to Christ the Lamb,

6 Be worship and praise, dominion and splendor, for ever and for evermore.
