I really dig this hymn. It was the hymn of the month at church a couple months ago and I thought I would share it with you. It was written by James George Deck & composed by Rowland H. Prichard.

Son of God! You Now Are Seated

Son of God! You now are seated
High upon Your Father's throne,
All Your gracious work completed,
All Your mighty vict'ry won.
Ev'ry knee in heav'n is bending
To the Lamb for sinners slain;
Ev'ry voice and heart is swelling,
"Worthy is the Lamb to reign."

Lord, in all Your pow'r and glory
Still Your thoughts and eyes are here;
Watching o'er Your ransomed people
To Your gracious heart so dear.
You for us are interceding
Everlasting is Your love;
And a blessed rest preparing
In our Father's house above

Jesus Lord! Your faithful promise
Says, "Behold I quickly come";
And our heart to Your responsive,
Cry, "Come, Lord and take us home."
Oh! the rapture that awaits us
When we meet You in the air
And with You ascend in triumph,
All Your deepest joys to share

Lamb of God! When You in glory
Shall to this sad earth return,
All Your foes shall quake before You,
All who now despise You mourn.
Then shall we at Your appearing
With You in Your kingdom reign,
Yours the praise and Your the glory,
Lamb of God, for sinners slain.

I was disappointed to find that this great hymn was not on cyberhymnal.org. However they do have a page for James George Deck and list the title Lamb of God, Thou Now Are Seated. Obviously the same song, but they didn't have a page for it, just the title.

So I sent them your transcription of the lyrics with one minor typo fixed. Not sure if they will convert the modern 2nd person singular pronouns back to the old versions or not.

The tune is already on cyberhymnal as the score for a different hymn:
