EASTER-TIDE ADORATION.
Reading edition
O Lamb of God, for sinners slain,
To loving hearts restored again!
Our Light, our Life, Redeemer, Lord,—
Forever be Thy name adored.
Victorious over death and hell,—
Incarnate Word, Immanuel!
Thou comest, Saviour, to Thine own:
Thy cross is now Thy glorious throne!
The Earth her richest gains shall bring,
To crown Thee Conqueror and King;
And the abundance of the sea
Shall be converted unto Thee.
Kings at Thy feet their scepters lay;
The Ages own Thy widening sway;
Thy rule shall over all extend,
And Thy dominion never end!
