Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cathedral Choir and Orchestra's song Worthy is The Lamb depicts the theme of redemption through the lamb which was slain. The song emphasizes the ultimate sacrifice of the lamb which is responsible for the redemption of humanity to God. The opening lyrics, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, and hath redeemed us to God by His blood," expresses the message of salvation through sacrifice, which is a common theme often featured in Christian songs.


Furthermore, the opening line is followed by a list of attributes that are attributed to the Lamb, including "power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing." This depiction is a common theme in the Bible and is used to describe how God is all-knowing, omnipotent and everpresent.

The final verse, "Blessing and honour, glory, and pow'r, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, for ever and ever. Amen," reinforces this message of adoration and appreciation.
