Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendour,

First begotten from the dead,

You alone, our strong Defender,

Now lift up Your people’s head.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Jesus, true and living Bread!

Here our humblest homage pay we,

Here in loving reference bow;

Here for faith’s discernment pray we,

Lest we fail to know You 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, Your offering finished

Once for all when You were slain,

In its fullness undiminished

Shall forevermore remain.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Cleansing souls from every stain

Life imparting heavenly Manna,

Smitten Rock with streaming side,

Heaven and earth with loud hosanna

Worship You, the Lamb Who died.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Ris’n, ascended, glorified!
