Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendour

Author: G. H. Bourne, 1840-1925 Hymnal: NEH1985 #296b (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Tune Title: BRYN CALFARIA Lyrics: 1 Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendour, First-begotten from the dead, Thou alone, our strong defender, Liftest up thy people’s head. Alleluya, Jesu, 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 thee now. Alleluya, Thou art here, we ask not how. 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. Alleluya, We in worship join with them. 4 Paschal Lamb, thine Offering, finished Once for all when thou wast slain, In its fullness undiminished Shall for evermore remain, Alleluya, Cleansing souls from every stain. 5 Life-imparting heavenly Manna, Stricken Rock with streaming side, Heaven and earth with loud hosanna Worship thee, the Lamb who died, Alleluya, Risen, ascended, glorified!

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-85 Hymnal: NEH1985 #367a (1986) Meter: 7.7.7.5 Tune Title: CAPETOWN Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost, Taught by thee, we covet most Of thy gifts at Pentecost, Holy, heavenly love. 2 Love is kind, and suffers long, Love is meek, and thinks no wrong, Love than death itself more strong; Therefore give us love. 3 Prophecy will fade away, Melting in the light of day; Love will ever with us stay; Therefore give us love. 4 Faith will vanish into sight; Hope be emptied in delight; Love in heaven will shine more bright; Therefore give us love. 5 Faith and hope and love we see Joining hand in hand agree; But the greatest of the three, And the best, is love. 6 From the overshadowing Of thy gold and silver wing Shed on us, who to thee sing, Holy, heavenly love.
