Milgrove was Precentor of the Countess of Huntingdon's Chapel in Bath. This setting comes from "Twelve hymns and a favourite lyric poem written by Doctor Watts; set to music for four, and five voices, with organ accompaniments. . . " Printed for the author, and sold at his house in Bond Street, Bath, 1781. The general congregation (sometimes divided into men and women) should sing the Air.

Lyrics: James Allen

Glory to God on High!
Let heav'n and earth reply.
Praise ye his name.
Angels his love adore,
Who all our sorrows bore,
And saints cry evermore:
Worthy the LAMB!

All they around the throne
Cheerfully join in one,
Praising his name:
We who have felt his blood
Sealing our peace with God,
Sound his dear fame abroad:
Worthy the LAMB!

Join all the ransom'd race
Our Lord and God to bless:
Praise ye his name!
In him we will rejoice,
Making a cheerful noise;
And shout with heart and voice,
Worthy the LAMB!

Tho' we must change our place,
Yet shall we never cease
Praising his name:
To Him we'll tribute bring;
Hail Him our gracious king;
And without ceasing sing,
Worthy the LAMB!

Benjamin Milgrove
(1731 - 1810)
