The Redeemer on his throne.
ENTHRONED is Jesus now,
Upon his heavenly seat;
The kingly crown is on his brow,
The saints are at his feet.
2 In shining white they stand,—
A great and countless throng;
A palmy sceptre in each hand,
On every lip a song.
3 They sing the Lamb of God,
Once slain on earth for them;
The Lamb, through whose atoning blood,
Each wears his diadem.
4; Thy grace, O Holy Ghost,
Thy blessed help supply,
That we may join that radiant host,
Triumphant in the sky.
T. J. Judkin
Methodist Episcopal hymnal (1870 edition)
<idle musing>
This seems an appropriate hymn for what has been going on at Asbury recently.
For those of you who don't know: I graduated from Asbury College and attended Asbury Theological Seminary for three semesters back in the late 1970s–early 1980s. We lived in Wilmore for six years. More later … maybe.
