All your people are forgiven through the virtue of your blood; opened is the gate of heaven; we are reconciled to God. 3 Jesus! Heavenly hosts adore you, seated at your Father's side. Crucified this world once saw you; now in glory you abide. There for sinners you are pleading, and our place you now prepare, ever for us interceding, till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing you are worthy to receive; loudest praises, without ceasing, right it is for us to give. Help, O bright angelic spirits, all your noblest anthems raise; help to sing our Savior's merits, help to chant Immanuel's praise.
