This hymn was originally written with two stanzas in 1757 by John Bakewell, comprising verse 1 and the first halves of verses 3 and 4. The rest was added in 1760 by Martin Madan, and a few lines were altered by Augustus Montague Toplady in 1776.

  1. Hail, thou once despised Jesus!
    Hail, thou Galilean King!
    Thou didst suffer to release us;
    Thou didst free salvation bring.
    Hail, thou agonizing Saviour,
    Bear er of thy sin and shame!
    By thy merits we find favor;
    Life is given thro' thy name.
  2. Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
    All our sins on thee were laid:
    By almighty love anointed,
    Thou hast full atonement made
    All thy people are for given,
    Thro' the virtue of thy blood;
    Opened is the gate of heaven;
    Peace is made 'twixt man and God.
  3. Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,
    There forever to abide;
    All the heavenly hosts adore thee,
    Seated at thy Father's side:
    There for sinners thou art pleading;
    There thou dost our place prepare:
    Ever for us interceding,
    Till in glory we appear.
  4. Worship, honor, power, and blessing,
    Thou art worthy to receive;
    Loudest praises, without ceasing,
    Meet it is for us to give.
    Help, ye bright angelic spirits;
    Bring your sweetest, noblest lays;
    Help to sing our Saviour's merits;
    Help to chant Immanuel's praise!
    Amen.
