116. Hail Thou Once Despised Jesus

1 Hail, Thou once despised Jesus!
Hail, Thou Galilean King!
Thou didst suffer to release us,
Thou didst free salvation bring.

Chorus:
Hail! Master, hail! Master, hail!
We own Thee, Christ, our King, all hail!
Master hail! Master, hail!
To Thee we worship bring,
O Thou mighty man of Galilee,
Who from death hath set Thy people free;
Thine the kingdom, pow’r and glory be,
Forevermore,
Forevermore.

2 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,
There forever to abide;
All the heav’nly hosts adore Thee,
Seated at Thy Father’s side. [Chorus]

3 Worship, honor, pow’r and blessing,
Thou art worthy to receive;
Loudest praises without ceasing,
Meet it is for us to give. [Chorus]
