| A hymn written by J. Bakewell | |

(1) Hail! Thou once despised Jesus!Hail! Thou Galilean King! Who didst suffer to release us — Who didst free salvation bring. |
(2) Hail! Thou precious, precious Saviour,Who hast borne our sin and shame, By whose merit we find favour; Life is given through Thy name. |
|
(3) Paschal Lamb, by God anointed,All our sins on Thee were laid; By almighty love appointed, Thou hast full atonement made. |
(4) Every sin shall be forgiven,Through the virtue of Thy blood: Opened is the gate of heaven, Peace is made 'twixt man and God. |
|
(5) Jesus hail! enthroned in glory,there for ever to abide; All the heavenly hosts adore Thee, Seated at Thy Father's side. |
(6) Worship, honour, power, and blessing,Christ is worthy to receive; Loudest praises without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give. |
