Lyrics
Hail, thou once despised Jesus
Hail, thou Galilean King
Thou didst suffer to release us
Thou didst free salvation bring
Hail, the universal 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 the 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
Reconciled are we with God
Worship, honor, pow'r, and blessing
Thou aren't worthy to receive
Highest praises, without ceasing
Right it is for us to give
Help be bright angelic spirits
All Your noblest anthems raise
Help to sing our Savior's merits
Help to chant Immanuel's praise
