SDA HYMNAL 408 – Lord Enthroned in Heavenly Splendor

1
Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendor,
First begotten from the dead,
You alone, our strong Defender,
Lifting up Your people’s head.
Al-le-lu-ia,
Jesus, true and living Bread!

2
Tho’ the lowliest form now veil You
As of old in Bethlehem,
Here as there Your angels hail You
Branch and Flow’r of Jesse’s stem.
Al-le-lu-ia,
We in worship join with them.

3
Paschal Lamb, Your offering finished
Once for all when You were slain,
In its fullness undiminished
Shall forevermore remain.
Al-le-lu-ia,
Cleansing souls from every stain.

4

Life imparting heavenly manna,
Smitten rock with streaming side,
Heaven and earth with loud hosanna
Worship You the Lamb who died.

Al-le-lu-ia,
Risen, ascended, glorified!
