CCC. To Jesus Christ

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 merits we find favour,
Life is given thro' thy name!

2 Paschal Lamb by GOD appointed,
All our sins on thee were laid!
By Almighty love anointed,
Thou hast full atonement made;
Ev'ry sin may be forgiv'n,
Thro' the virtue of thy blood;
Open'd is the gate of Heav'n
Peace is made 'twixt man and GOD.

3 JESUS, hail! enthron'd 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,
Spare them yet another year —
Thou for saints art interceding,
Till in glory they appear.

4 Worship, honour, pow'r, and blessing,
CHRIST is 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.
