Lord enthroned in heavenly splendour

- Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendour,
- First-begotten from the dead,
- Thou alone, our strong Defender,
- Liftest up Thy people's head.
- Alleluia! Alleluia!
- Jesus, true and living Bread.
- Here our humblest homage pay we,
- Here in loving reverence bow;
- Here for faith's discernment pray we,
- Lest we fail to know Thee now.
- Alleluia! Alleluia!
- Thou art here, we ask not how.
- Though the lowliest form doth veil Thee
- As of old in Bethlehem,
- Here as there Thine angels hail Thee
- Branch and Flower of Jesse's stem.
- Alleluia! Alleluia!
- We in worship join with them.
- Paschal Lamb, Thine offering, finished
- Once for all when Thou wast slain,
- In its fulness undiminished
- Shall forever more remain,
- Alleluia! Alleluia!
- Cleansing souls from every stain.
- Life-imparting, heavenly Manna,
- Stricken Rock with streaming side,
- Heaven and earth with loud hosanna
- Worship Thee, the Lamb who died,
- Alleluia! Alleluia!
- Risen, ascended, glorified! ......
