Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendour
Tune: Rhuddlan
Metre: 8787 87

 

Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendour,

First-begotten from the dead,

Thou alone, our strong defender,

Liftest up thy people’s head.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Jesus, true and living Bread.

 

Here our humble homage pay we;

Here in loving reverence bow;

Here for faith’s discernment pray we,

Lest we fail to know thee now.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Thou art here, we ask not how.

 

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.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

We in worship join with them.

 

Paschal Lamb, thine offering, finished

Once for all when thou wast slain,

In its fullness undiminished

Shall for evermore remain,

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Cleansing souls from every stain.

 

Life-imparting, heavenly Manna,

Stricken Rock with streaming side,

Heaven and earth with loud hosanna

Worship thee, the Lamb who died,

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Risen, ascended, glorified.
