| 1. | Hail, Thou once despisd 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! |
