Hymn

Enthroned in Glory

John Bakewell

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.

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 Savior's merits;

Help to chant Immanuel's praise.
