1. Jesus, hail! amid the glory,
Where for us Thou dost abide;
(All the heav’nly hosts adore Thee!)
Standing at Thy Father’s side,
There for us Thou now art pleading;
While Thou dost our place prepare,
For the church still interceding,
Till in glory it appear.
2. Worship, honour, power, and blessing,
Thou shalt then from all receive;
Loudest praises, without ceasing,
All that earth or heav’n can give:
’Till that day,—th’ angelic spirits,
With the church, in feebler lays,
Still shall try to sing Thy merits,
And to chant Thy Father’s praise.
