Lord, Enthroned in Heavenly Splendour

Author: George Hugh Bourne (1840-1925) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 66 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 52:13-15; 53 Lyrics: 1 Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendour, first begotten from the dead, thou alone, our strong defender, liftest up thy people’s head. 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 thee now. Alleluia, thou art here, we ask not how. 3 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, we in worship join with them. 4 Paschal Lamb, thine offering, finished once for all when thou wast slain, in its fullness undiminished shall forevermore remain, alleluia, Cleansing us from every stain. 5 Life-imparting heavenly Manna, stricken Rock with streaming side, heaven and earth with loud hosanna worship thee, the Lamb who died, alleluia, risen, ascended, glorified!
