Now Hail We Our Redeemer

lyricist: Ambrose of Milan (340–397)
Composer: German Enchiridion, 1524

Now hail we our Re­deem­er

Eternal Son of God

Born in the flesh to save us

And cleanse us in His blood.

The Morn­ing Star as­cend­eth

Light to the world He lend­eth

Our guide in grief and gloom.

A man

of God be­got­ten

Brought in the age of grace;

Lo

all the earth is ra­di­ant

With light

and hope

and peace.

Our pri­son He de­mol­ished

Death’s pow­er He abol­ished

And op­ened Heav­en’s gate.

O Je­sus

grant us mer­cy

And grace on us be­stow

To walk by Thine own guid­ance

Thy sav­ing truth to know.

For Thee our hearts are yearn­ing

From world­ly plea­sures turn­ing

Unto Thy right­eous­ness.

Into Thy hand the Fa­ther

Gave all

that we might be

In bonds of faith unit­ed

And de­di­cate to Thee

A people through Thy mer­it

Entitled to in­her­it

Thy realm eter­nal­ly.
