Hail, O Once-Despised Jesus

Author: John Bakewell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 625 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8 Lyrics: 1 Hail, O once-despised Jesus! Hail, O Galilean King! You have suffered to release us, hope and joy and peace to bring. Hail, O agonizing Savior, bearer of our sin and shame; by your merits we find favor; life is given through your name. 2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, all our sins on you were laid; by almighty love anointed, you have full atonement made. All your people are forgiven through the virtue of your blood; opened is the gate of heaven; we are reconciled to God. 3 Jesus! Heavenly hosts adore you, seated at your Father's side. Crucified this world once saw you; now in glory you abide. There for sinners you are pleading, and our place you now prepare, ever for us interceding, till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing you are worthy to receive; loudest praises, without ceasing, right it is for us to give. Help, O bright angelic spirits, all your noblest anthems raise; help to sing our Savior's merits, help to chant Immanuel's praise.
