270. Jesus, our triumphant Head

1 Jesus, our triumphant Head,
Risen victorious from the dead,
To the realms of glory's gone
To ascend His rightful throne.

2 Cherubs on the Conquerer gaze,
Seraphs glow with brighter blaze;
Each bright order of the sky
Hail Him as He passes by,

3 Sinners, join the heavenly powers,
For redemption all is ours.
Humble penitents shall prove
Blood-bought pardon, dying love.

4 Hail, Thou dear, Thou worthy Lord!
Holy Lamb, incarnate Word!
Hail! Thou suffering Son of God!
Take the trophies of Thy blood.

Amen.
