Revelation 5:9-10
And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth.”

This new song has it's emphasis on the redemptive work of Jesus.

The song honors the price of redemption: for You were slain
The song honors the worker of redemption: have redeemed us
The song honors the destination of redemption: have redeemed us to God
The song honors the payment of redemption: by Your blood
The song honors the scope of redemption: every tribe and tongue and people and nation
The song honors the length of redemption: have made us kings and priests to our God
The song honors the result of redemption: and we shall reign on the earth

Victorinus of Poetovio's commentary on the new song:

“It is a new thing that the Son of God should become man. It is a new thing to ascend into the heavens with a body. It is a new thing to give remission of sins to men. It is a new thing for men to be sealed with the Holy Spirit. It is a new thing to receive the priesthood of sacred observance, and to look for a kingdom of unbounded promise.”
 
Amen dear brother A men

The scroll (the book) is a book of judgement hence no one is found worthy.

He alone....without sin could 'open the book'
