1 Hail, thou once despised Jesus;

Hail, thou Galilean King!

Thou didst suffer to release us;

thou didst free salvation bring.

Hail, thou universal 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;

reconciled are we with God.



3 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,

there for ever to abide;

all the heav'nly hosts 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, power, and blessing

thou art worthy to receive;

loudest 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 Emmanuel's praise!
