Connexion by Walter Janes — Lyrics
Come, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels round the throne;
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.
"Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry,
"To be exalted thus:"
"Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply,
"For he was slain for us."
Jesus is worthy to receive
Honour and power divine;

About Connexion
This jubilant anthem expresses the unity of heavenly and earthly voices in praise of the Lamb. The text, a well-known hymn, vividly paints a scene of ten thousand thousand angels singing in unison around the throne, their songs of adoration joined by human lips and all creation. Walter Janes sets this powerful English text for a rich SSATBB choir, allowing for a grand and resonant sound. The music likely reflects the fervent exultation of the text, creating an uplifting experience for both choir and congregation as it calls for the entire creation to join in blessing the sacred name and adoring the Lamb.
