<pre>Hymn 70
L.M.
1. Jesus! we hail thee, Israel's King,
And now to thee our tribute bring;
Nor do we fear to bow to thee:
They worship God, who worship thee.

2. Hail, Israel's King, enthroned in light!
Whose glory never shone more bright,
Than when, by trembling friends betrayed,
Thy foes insulting homage paid.

3. Then did admiring angels see
Divine forbearance, Lord, in thee;
With emphasis pronounce thee GOOD;
And heav'n and earth contrasted stood.

4. An object of contempt beneath,
And judged by men to suffer death;
By angels owned, admired, adored,
The great, the everlasting Lord.

5. Reign, mighty King, forever reign!
Thy cause throughout the world maintain;
Let Israel's King his triumphs spread,
And crowns of glory wreathe his head!</pre>
