Jesus, our Lord, with what joy we adore Thee,
Chanting our praise to Thyself on the throne!
Blest in Thy presence, we worship before Thee,
Own Thou art worthy, and worthy alone.

Verily God, yet become truly human,
Lower than angels to die in our stead;
How has that long promised "Seed of the woman"
Trod on the serpent and bruised his head!

How didst Thou humble Thyself to be taken.
Led by Thy creatures and nailed to the cross.
Hated of men, and of God too forsaken,
Shunning not darkness, the curse, and the loss.

How hast Thou triumphed, and triumphed with glory,
Battled death's forces, rolled back every wave!
Can we refrain then from telling the story?
Lord, Thou art Victor o'er death and the grave.

We discussed today what "own Thou art worthy" means in the chorus.
"own" here means to acknowledge or admit.
The subject of "own" is "we" in the previous line.

"And I wept much because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look into it. And one of the elders said to me, Do not weep; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root David, has overcome so that He may open the scroll and its seven seals. Rev. 5:4-5"
This morning all that I say is, Lord Thou art worthy!

Stanza three leads us to worship the Lord Jesus as the only One qualified to be the fulfillment and reality of the type of the Burnt Offering in Leviticus.
He was brought to the slaughter (Isa. 53:7; Phil. 2:8 )
He was slaughtered (Luke 23:21; Acts 2:23 )
He was skinned (Matthew 11:19; Mark 3:22; John 8:48 )
He was cut into pieces (Mark 15:29-32; Psalm 22:16-17)
Therefore, He alone is worthy!
