Author: John Bakewell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 626 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 First Line: Hail, O once despised Jesus! Lyrics: 1 Hail, O once despised Jesus!
Hail, O Galilean King!
You have suffered to release us,
Hope, salvation, joy to bring.
Hail, O agonizing 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 on you were laid;
by almighty love anointed,
you have full atonement made.
All your people are forgiven
through the virtue of your blood;
opened 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 us sing our Savior's merits,
help to chant Immanuel's praise. Topics: Lent; Christ--Adoration and praise; Christ--Atonement; Christ--Intercessor; Christ--Lamb of God; Christ--Substitute, our; Christian year--Lent Used With Tune: CASSEL
