389. Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendour

1 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!

2 Here our humblest homage pay we,
here in loving reverence bow;
here for faith's discernment pray we,
lest we fail to know You now.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
You are here, we ask not how.

3 Paschal Lamb, Your offering, finished
once for all when You were slain,
in its fullness undiminished
shall for evermore remain.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Cleansing us from every stain.

4 Life-imparting heavenly manna,
smitten rock with streaming side,
heaven and earth with loud hosanna
worship You, the Lamb who died.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Risen, ascended, glorified!
