Adam's sons are now forgiven, Through the virtue of thy blood! Open'd is the gate of heaven-- Peace is made 'twixt man and God.

Jesus, hail, entthron'd in glory, There for ever to abide; All the heavenly hosts adore thee, Seated at thy Father's side.

Verse 4

There for sinners thou art pleading-- There thou dost our place prepare; Ever for us interceding, Till in glory we appear.

Glory, honour, pow'r, and blessing, Thou art worthy to receive; Loudest praises, without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give.

Verse 6

When we join th' angelic spirits, In their sweetest, noblest lays, We will sing our Saviour's merits-- Gladly chant Immanuel's praise.
