Hail, Thou once despised Jesus

Hail

Thou once despised Jesus!

Hail

Thou still rejected King!

Thou didst suffer to release us

Thou didst free salvation bring;

Through Thy death and resurrection

Bearer of our sin and shame!

We enjoy divine protection

Life and glory through Thy name.

Paschal Lamb

by God appointed

All our sins on Thee were laid;

By our Father’s love anointed

Thou redemption’s price hast paid.

All who trust Thee are forgiven

Through the virtue of Thy blood;

Opened are the things of heaven

Grace shines forth to man from God.

Savior

hail! enthroned in glory

Where for us Thou dost abide;

We

by faith

do now adore Thee

Seated at Thy Father’s side.

There

for us Thou now art pleading

There Thou dost our sorrows share

Ever for us interceding

Till in glory we appear.

Worship

honor

praise

and blessing

Thou art worthy to receive;

Loudest praises

without ceasing

Meet it is for us to give.

In that day Thy saints will meet Thee

Welcome Thee with grateful song;

Joyful hearts will ever greet Thee

Source of joy to all the throng!
