Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
 
All our sins were on Thee laid;
 
By Almighty love anointed,
 
Thou hast full atonement made.
 
All Thy people are forgiven
 
Through the virtue of Thy blood;
 
Opened is the gate of heaven,
 
Peace is made for us with God.
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.” (Colossians 1:14)
“And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” (Colossians 1:20)

Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,
 
There forever to abide;
 
All the heavenly hosts adore Thee,
 
Seated at Thy Father’s side;
 
Worship, honor, power and blessing,
 
Thou art worthy to receive;
 
Loudest praises, without ceasing,
 
Meet it is for us to give.
“But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.” (Hebrews 1:8)
“Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 1:20)
