Show The Risen King BY JOHN BAKEWELL. nan, tnou once despised Jesus! Hail, -thou Galilean king! Thou didst suffer to release us, Thou didst free salvation bring; Hail, though agonizing Savior, Bearer of 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; All thy people are forgiven Through the virtue of thy blood; Opened is the gate of heaven; Peace is made 'twixt man and God Jesus hail, enthroned in glory. There forever to abide; All the heavenly hosts adore thee. Seated at thy pther's side. There for sinners thou art pleading; There thou dost our place prepare; Ever for us interceding Till in glory we appear. 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 Savior's merits, Help to chant Immanuel's praise. Soon we shall, w-lth those In glory, His transcendent grace relate; Gladly sing the amazing story Of his dying love so great; In that blessed contemplation We for evermore shall dwell, Crowned with bliss and consolation. Such as none below can tell. |
