Hail, thou once despised Jesus!

Author: John Bakewell Appears in 625 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail, thou once despised Jesus! Crowned in mockery a king! Thou didst suffer to release us; Thou didst free salvation bring. Hail, thou agonizing Saviour! Bearer of our sin and shame! By thy merits 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 redemption's price hast paid. 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 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. 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!

When thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come

Author: Selina, Countess of Huntington Appears in 439 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come, To call thy ransomed people home, Shall I among them stand? Shall such a worthless worm as I, Who sometimes am afraid to die, Be found at thy right hand? Be found at thy right hand? 2 I love to meet among them now, Before thy gracious throne to bow, Though weakest of them all; Nor can I bear the piercing thought, To have my worthless name left out, When thou for them shalt call? 3 Prevent, prevent it by thy grace! Be thou, dear Lord, my hiding-place In that expected day. Thy pardoning voice, O let me hear, To still each unbelieving fear, Nor let me fall, I pray. 4 Let me among thy saints be found, Whene'er the Archangel's trump shall sound, To see thy smiling face; Then joyfully thy praise I'll sing, While heaven's resounding mansions ring With shouts of endless grace.
