Texts

Hail, Thou once-despisèd Jesus!

Hail, Thou once despisèd Jesus;
Hail, Thou Galilean King;
Thou didst suffer to release us;
Thou didst free salvation bring!
Hail, Thou agonizing Saviour,
Bearer of our sin and shame;
By Thy merit we find favour;
Life is given through Thy Name.

Mighty God, While Angels Bless Thee

Mighty God, while angels bless thee,
May an infant lisp thy name?
Lord of men as well as angels,
Thou art every creature’s theme.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.
