Hail! Thou once despised Jesus!

Thou didst suffer to release us; Thou didst free salvation bring: Hail! Thou agonizing Saviour, Who hast borne our sin and shame, By whose merit we find favor; Life is given through Thy name. 2 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. 3 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory, There forever to abide! All the heavenly host adore Thee, Seated at Thy Father's side; There for sinners Thou art pleading; There Thou dost our place prepare; Ever for us interceding, Till in glory we appear. 4 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 Saviour's merits; Help to chant Immanuel's praise. Amen. Used With Tune: FABEN

Can my God His wrath forbear? Me, the chief of sinners, spare? I have long withstood His grace, Long provoked Him to His face, Would not hearken to His calls, Grieved Him by a thousand falls. 2 Whence to me this waste of love? Ask my Advocate above; See the cause in Jesus' face. Now before the throne of grace. There for me the Saviour stands, Shows His wounds, and spread His hands; God is love! I know, I feel; Jesus weeps, and loves me still! 3 Jesus, answer from above; Is not all Thy nature love? Wilt thou not the wrong forget, Suffering me to kiss Thy feet? If I rightly read Thy heart, If Thou all compassion art, Bow Thine ear, in mercy bow, Pardon and accept me now. Used With Tune: CULFORD

See, He shows the prints of love! Hark, His gracious lips bestow Blessings on His church below! 5 Still for us His death He pleads, Prevalent, He intercedes, Near Himself prepares our place, Harbinger of human race. 6 There we shall with Thee remain, Partners of Thy endless reign, There Thy face unclouded see, Find our heaven of heavens in Thee.
