Lyrics

1 Hail, Thou once despised Jesus! Hail, Thou Galilean king! Thou didst suffer to release us; Thou didst free salvation bring. Hail, Thou agonizing Savior, bearer of our sin and shame! By Thy merit we find favor; life is given through Thy name. 2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, all our sins on Thee were laid; by almighty Love anointed, Thou hast full atonement made: all Thy people are forgiven through the virtue of Thy blood; opened is the gate of heaven; peace is made 'twixt man and God. 3 Jesus, hail, enthroned in glory, there forever to abide! All the heav'nly host adore Thee, seated at Thy Father's side. There for sinners Thou art pleading; there Thou dost our place prepare; ever for us interceding, till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, pow'r, and blessing Thou art worthy to receive; highest praises, without ceasing, meet it is for us to give. Help, ye bright angelic spirits, bring your sweetest, noblest lays; help to sing our Savior's merits; help to chant Immanuel's praise! Source:Psalms and Hymns to the Living God #297
