Thou that art the Father’s Word,
Thou that art the Lamb of God,
Thou that art the Virgin’s Son,
Thou that savest souls undone,
Sacred sacrifice for sin,
Fount of piety within,
Hail, Lord Jesus.
Thou to whom Thine angels raise
Quiring songs of sweetest praise,
Thou that art the flower and fruit,
Virgin born from Jesse’s root,
Shedding holy peace abroad,
Perfect man and perfect God;
Hail, Lord Jesus.
Thou that art the door of heaven,
Living bread in mercy given,
Brightness of the Father’s face,
Everlasting Prince of Peace,
Precious pearl beyond all price,
Brightest star in all the skies,
Hail, Lord Jesus.
King and Spouse of holy hearts,
Fount of Love that ne’er departs,
Sweetest life, and brightest day,
Truest truth, and surest way
That leads onward to the blest
Sabbath of eternal Rest,
Hail, Lord Jesus.
(Henry Alford)
