“Christ our passover is sacrificed for us.” 1 Cor. 5. 7
J. Bakewell 8.7.
1
Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
Loads of sin on thee were laid;
By almighty love anointed,
Thou hast full atonement made.
All thy people are forgiven,
Through the virtue of thy blood;
Opened is the gate of heaven;
Peace is made ’twixt man and God.
2
Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,
There for ever to abide!
All the heavenly hosts adore thee,
Seated at thy Father’s side.
For thy people thou art pleading;
There thou dost their place prepare;
Ever for them interceding,
Till in glory they appear.
3
Riches, honour, strength, and blessing,
Thou art worthy to receive;
Loudest praises, without ceasing,
Meet it is for saints to give.
All the bright angelic spirits
Bring their sweetest, noblest lays;
Help to sing the Saviour’s merits;
Help to chant the Saviour’s praise.
