Sunday's Hymn
Hail, Thou Once-Despised Jesus!
Hail, Thou once despisèd Jesus! Hail, Thou Galilean King!
Thou didst suffer to release us; Thou didst free salvation bring.
Hail, Thou agonizing Savior, who hast borne our sin and shame!
By Thy merits we find favor; life is given through Thy Name.Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, all our sins on Thee were laid;
By almighty love anointed, Thou hast full atonement made.
Every sin may be forgiven through the virtue of Thy blood;
Opened is the gate of Heaven, reconciled are we with God.Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory, there forever to abide;
All the heavenly hosts adore Thee, seated at Thy Father’s side.
There for sinners Thou art pleading; there Thou dost our place prepare;
Thou for saints art interceding till in glory they appear.Worship, honor, power and blessing Christ is worthy to receive;
Loudest praises, without ceasing, right it is for us to give.
Help, ye bright angelic spirits, bring your sweetest, noblest lays;
Help to sing of Jesus’ merits, help to chant Emmanuel’s praise!
My hymn book has this hymn set to the tune Autumn, although there are others that seem to be more common, including Hyfrydol.

What a great hymn, and I don't think I've ever read/heard those words before today.
Here's my hymn post for today, Rebecca:

Sorry I'm late.
I always enjoy these hymns and links - And thank you for linking mine here as well.

Thank you, Rebecca.
What a wonderful thing it is to be reminded that no matter where in the world we live... we all come together today to worship our God and King!
Have a most blessed week.
