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.

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.
