The Cyber Hymnal ‎#3641

3641. Lord, Enthroned in Heavenly Splendor

1. Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendor,
First begotten from the dead,
You alone, our strong defender,
Now lift up Your people's head.

Refrain:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Jesus, true and living bread!
Jesus, true and living bread!

2. Here our humblest homage pay we,
Here in loving reverence bow;
Here for faith's discernment pray we,
Lest we fail to know You now. [Refrain]

3. Though the lowliest form doth veil Thee
As of old in Bethlehem,
Here as there Thine angels hail Thee,
Branch and flower of Jesse's stem. [Refrain]

4. Paschal Lamb, Your offering finished
Once for all when You were slain,
In its fullness undiminished
Shall forevermore remain. [Refrain]

5. Great high priest of our profession,
Through the veil Thou wentest in,
By Thy mighty intercession,
Grace and peace for us to win. [Refrain]

6. Life imparting heavenly manna,
Smitten rock with streaming side,
Heaven and earth with loud hosanna
Worship You, the Lamb who died. [Refrain]
