Section 4-Springtime Annual Feasts

The Paschal Lamb

Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
All our sins on Thee were laid;
By Almighty Love anointed.
Thou redemption’s price hast paid.
All thy people are forgiven
Through the virtue of thy blood
Opened is the gate of heaven,
Peace is made ‘twixt man and God.CIS 92.1

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,
Ever for us interceding,
Till in glory we appear.CIS 92.2

Worship, honor, power, and blessing,
Thou art worthy to receive;
Loudest praises, without ceasing,
Meet it is for us to give;
Help, ye bright angelic spirits,
Bring your sweetest, noblest lays;
Help to sing our Saviour’s merits,
Help to chant Immanuel’s praise!
-John Bakewell.CIS 92.3
