Hail, Thou once despisèd Jesus

- Hail, Thou once despisèd Jesus,
- Hail, Thou Galilean King!
- Thou didst suffer to release us,
- Thou didst free salvation bring.
- Hail, Thou agonising Saviour,
- Bearer of our sin and shame;
- By Thy merits we find favour,
- Life is given through Thy name.
- Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
- All our sins on Thee were laid.
- With 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,
- Man is reconciled to God.
- Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,
- There forever to abide;
- All the heavenly 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.
- Worship, honour, power, and blessing
- Thou art worthy to receive:
- Loudest praises, without ceasing,
- Right it is for us to give:
- Come, O mighty Holy Spirit,
- As our hearts and hands we raise,
- Help us sing our Saviour's merits,
- Help us sing Immanuel's praise
