Hail, Thou Once Despisèd Jesus

Hail

Thou once des­pis­èd Je­sus!

Hail

Thou Ga­li­le­an King!

Thou didst suf­fer to re­lease us;

Thou didst free sal­va­tion bring.

Hail

Thou uni­vers­al Sav­ior

Who hast borne our sin and shame!

By Thy mer­its we find fa­vor;

Life is giv­en through Thy name.

Paschal Lamb

by God ap­point­ed

All our sins on Thee were laid;

By al­migh­ty love an­oint­ed

Thou hast full atone­ment made.

Every sin may be for­giv­en

Through the vir­tue of Thy blood;

Opened is the gate of Heav­en

Reconciled are we with God.

Jesus

hail! en­throned in glo­ry

There for­ev­er to abide;

All the heav­en­ly hosts adore Thee

Seated at Thy Fa­ther’s side.

There for sin­ners Thou art plead­ing;

There Thou dost our place pre­pare;

Thou for saints art in­ter­ced­ing

Till in glo­ry they ap­pear.

Worship

hon­or

pow­er and bless­ing

Christ is wor­thy to re­ceive;

Loudest prais­es

with­out ceas­ing

Right it is for us to give.

Help

ye bright an­gel­ic spir­its

Bring your sweet­est

nob­lest lays;

Help to sing of Je­sus’ mer­its

Help to chant Em­ma­nu­el’s praise!
