Revelation 5:12-13: "12 saying with a loud voice, 'Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!' 13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, 'To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!'"
Acts 2:22-24: "22 'Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know - 23 this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. 24 God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.'"
Acts 2:36: "'Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.'"
Revelation 19:4-6: "4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, 'Amen. Hallelujah!' 5 And from the throne came a voice saying, 'Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great.' 6 Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, 'Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns."

1 O God of God, O Light of Light,O Prince of Peace and King of kings:To You in heaven's glory brightThe song of praise forever rings.To Him who sits upon the throne,The Lamb once slain but raised again,Be all the glory He has won,All thanks and praise! Amen, amen.2 For deep in prophets' sacred page,And grand in poets' winged word,Slowly in type, from age to ageThe nations saw their coming Lord;Till through the deep Judean nightRang out the song, "Goodwill to men!"Sung once by firstborn sons of light,It echoes now, "Goodwill!" Amen.3 That life of truth, those deeds of love,That death so steeped in hate and scorn -These all are past, and now aboveHe reigns, our King once crowned with thorn.Lift up your heads, O mighty gates!So sang that host beyond our ken.Lift up your heads, your King awaits.We lift them up. Amen, amen.4 Then raise to Christ a mighty song,And shout His name, His mercies tell!Sing, heav'nly host, your praise prolong,And all on earth, your anthem swell!All hail, O Lamb for sinners slain!Forever let the song ascend!Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign,All glory, pow'r! Amen, amen.

The two passages from Revelation appear in the first and fourth verses. Revelation 5 with its "Worthy is the Lamb" and doxology is a bit more prominent than Revelation 19.
The two passages from Acts 2 seem to be the basis for the first half of the third verse, and "God raised him up" from verse 24 appears in the last half of the line "The Lamb once slain but raised again" in the first verse.

In the first verse, the titles "God of God" and "Light of Light" come from the Nicene Creed. The title "Prince of Peace" comes from Isaiah 9:6, and the title "King of kings" appears in 1 Timothy 6:15, Revelation 17:14, and Revelation 19:16.
The goodwill in the second verse comes from some translations of Luke 2:13-14: "13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: 14 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!'' [NKJV].
The line "Lift up your heads, O mighty gates!" in the third verse refers to Psalm 24:7-10: "7 Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. 8 Who is the King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, mighty in battle! 9 Lift up your heads, O gates! And lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory!"
