Lord, enthroned in heav'nly splendor,
Firstbegotten, from the dead,
Thou alone, our strong Defender,
Liftest up Thy people's head.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Jesus, true and living Bread!

Prince of Life, for us Thou livest,
By Thy body souls are healed;
Prince of Peace, Thy peace Thou givest,
By Thy blood is pardon sealed;
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Word of God in flesh revealed.

Paschal Lamb! Thine off'ring finished.
Once for all when Thou wast slain,
In its fulness undiminished
Shall for evermore remain,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Cleansing souls from every stain.

Great High Priest of our profession,
Through the veil Thou ent'redst in;
By Thy mighty intercession
Grace and mercy Thou dost win;
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Only sacrifice for sin.

Lifeimparting heav'nly manna,
Stricken Rock, with streaming side,
Heav'n and earth with loud hosanna,
Worship Thee, the Lamb who died;
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Ris'n, ascended glorified!
