408 - Lord, Enthroned in Heavenly Splendor

Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendor,
First begotten from the dead,
You alone, our strong defender,
Lifting up Your people’s head.
Alleluia, Jesus, true and living Bread!
2
Tho’ the lowliest form now veil You
As of old in Bethlehem,
Here as there Your angels hail
You Branch and flow’r of Jesse’s stem.
Alleluia, We worship join with them.
3
Paschal Lamb Your off’ring finished
Once for all when You were slain,
In its fullness undiminished
Shall forevermore remain.
Alleluia, Cleansing from every stain.
4
Life imparting heav’nly manna,
Stricken rock with streaming side,
Heav’n and earth with loud hosanna
Worship You the Lamb who died.
Alleluia, Ris’n ascended, glorified!
