2. Hail, thou once despised Jesus. Hail, thou Galilean King
Hail, thou once despised Jesus! Hail, thou Galilean King! By your suffering you released us and did free salvation bring.

3. Friend and universal Saviour, bearer of our sin and shame, by your merits we find favour; life is given through your name.

4. Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, all our sins on thee were laid: by almighty love anointed, thou hast full atonement made:

5. All your people are forgiven through the virtue of your blood; opened is the gate of heaven; reconciled are we to God.

6. Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory, there for ever to abide; all the heavenly hosts adore you, seated at your Father's side:

7. there for sinners you are pleading: there you now our place prepare; ever for us interceding till in glory we appear.

8. Worship, honour, power, and blessing thou art worthy to receive; highest praises, without ceasing, meet it is for us to give.

9. Help, ye bright angelic spirits, bring your sweetest, noblest lays; help to sing of Jesus' merits, help to chant Emmanuel's praise!
