534. Hail, O Once-Despised Jesus

1 Hail, O once-despised Jesus!
Hail, O Galilean King!
You have suffered to release us,
hope to give and peace to bring.
Hail, O universal Savior,
bearer of our sin and shame;
by your merits we find favor:
life is given through your name.

2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
all our sins were on you were laid;
by almighty love anointed,
you have full atonement made.
Ev'ry sin has been forgiven
through the power of your blood;
open is the gate of heaven,
we are reconciled to God.

3 Jesus, heav'nly hosts adore you,
seated at your Father's side.
Crucified this world once saw you;
now in glory you abide.
There for sinners you are pleading,
and our place you now prepare,
ever for us interceding
till in glory we appear.

4 Worship, honor, pow'r, and blessing,
you are worthy to receive;
loudest praises, without ceasing,
right it is for us to give.
Help, O bright angelic spirits,
all your noblest anthems raise;
help to sing our Savior's merits,
help to chant Immanuel's praise.
