Hail, Thou once despis�d Jesus!

   Hail, Thou still rejected King!

Thou didst suffer to release us,

   Thou didst free salvation bring;

Through Thy death and resurrection,

   Bearer of our sin and shame!

We enjoy divine protection,

   Life and glory through Thy name.

 2 

Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,

   All our sins on Thee were laid;

By our Father's love anointed,

   Thou redemption's price hast paid.

All who trust Thee are forgiven

   Through the virtue of Thy blood;

Opened are the things of heaven,

   Grace shines forth to man from God.

 3 

Savior, hail! Enthroned in glory,

   Where for us Thou dost abide;

We, by faith, do now adore Thee,

   Seated at Thy Father's side.

There, for us Thou now art pleading,

   There Thou dost our sorrows share,

Ever for us interceding,

   Till in glory we appear.

 4 

Worship, honor, praise, and blessing,

   Thou art worthy to receive;

Loudest praises, without ceasing,

   Meet it is for us to give.

In that day Thy saints will meet Thee,

   Welcome Thee with grateful song;

Joyful hearts will ever greet Thee,

   Source of joy to all the throng!
