HAIL THE REDEEMER

Hail the Lord of life and glory,

Hail the Lord who all things made;

Hail the heaven’s divine Creator,

He who earth’s foundation laid.

Hail the Son of God incarnate,

He who came to earth as man;

Hail the purpose of His coming,

And the wonder of His plan.

Hail the glory of His living,

Hail the mystery of His death;

Hail the love beyond describing,

When He yielded up His breath.

Hail the triumph of His rising,

Death destroyed and life regained;

Hail the living loving Saviour,

Full redemption He obtained.

Hail Him as the great sin-bearer,

Lamb of God, eternal Son;

Hail the glory of the Gospel,

Message of salvation won.

Hail Him till He comes in glory,

And in power, to claim His own;

Hail Him Lord and King, Redeemer,

Hail Him on His glorious throne.
