Hail, Thou Once Despised Jesus (EN 2384)

EN 2384 Hail, Thou Once Despised Jesus

Isa.53.3

Versi Version 1

Hail, Thou once despised Jesus! Hail, Thou Galilean King!

Thou didst suffer to release us; Thou didst free salvation bring.

Hail, Thou universal Savior, who hast borne our sin and shame!

By Thy merits we find favor; life is given through Thy Name.

Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, all our sins on Thee were laid;

By almighty love anointed, Thou hast full atonement made.

Every sin may be forgiven through the virtue of Thy blood;

Opened is the gate of Heaven, reconciled are we with God.

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;

Thou for saints art interceding till in glory they appear.

Worship, honor, power and blessing Christ is worthy to receive;

Loudest praises, without ceasing, right it is for us to give.

Help, ye bright angelic spirits, bring your sweetest, noblest lays;

Help to sing of Jesus’ merits, help to chant Emmanuel’s praise!
