Author: John Bakewell; Augustus M. Toplady Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #142 (1899) Topics: Christ Priesthood of 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 Saviour,
Who hast borne our sin and shame,
By whose 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 heavenly 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, 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 Saviour's merits;
Help to chant Immanuel's praise.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: FABEN
Hail! Thou once despised Jesus!
