Lo, round the throne, a glorious band

Lo, round the throne, a glorious band. Rowland Hill* (1744-1833) and others. This hymn is based on a hymn published in Hill’s A Collection of Psalms and Hymns, chiefly Intended for Public Worship (1783). It began ‘Join, ye redeemed heirs of grace’, headed ‘Rev. v. 9, &c’:   Join ye redeemed heirs of grace  In a new song of lofty praise;  Jesus is worthy to receive  The utmost glories ye can give. Stanza 2 is the original of the modern stanza 4 (in the Appendix to the First Edition of A&M, 1868):                                1783                                                              1868   Worthy, thou dear atoning Lamb Worthy the Lamb, for sinners...
