Hail Redeemer

Hail Redeemer, King divine!
Priest and Lamb, the throne is thine: 
King, whose reign shall never cease,
Prince of everlasting peace.

Angels, Saints, and Nations sing: 
Praised be Jesus Christ our King; 
Lord of life, earth, sky and sea, 
King of love on Calvary.


King, whose name creation thrills,
Rule our minds, our hearts, our wills, 
Till in peace, each nation rings 
With thy praises, King of kings!
 
Angels, Saints, and Nations sing…

King most holy, King of truth, 
Guard the lowly, guide the youth;
Christ, thou King of glory bright,
Be to us eternal light!

Angels, Saints, and Nations sing…

Shepherd-King, o’er mountains steep
Homeward bring the wandering sheep; 
Shelter in one royal fold
States and kingdoms, new and old. ​
Angels, Saints, and Nations sing…
​

Crimson streams, O King of grace,
Drenched thy thorn-crowned head and face; 
Floods of love’s redeeming tide
Tore thy hands, thy feet, thy side. 
 
Sing all tongues, let none be dumb:
Sacred Heart, thy kingdom come!
To the King of ages then
Honour, glory, love. Amen.

Fr Patrick Brennan CSSR (1877-1952)
