THE LORD IS KING.
Psalm xcvi 10.
I
Hail, holy, holy, holy lord!Let Pow'rs immortal sing;
Adore the co-eternal word,
And shout, the lord is king!
24
II
To thee all Angels cry aloud,Thy name hosannas ring;
Around thy throne their myriads crowd,
And shout, the lord is king!
III
Hail Him, they cry, ye sons of light,Of joy the eternal spring;
Praise Him who form'd you by his might,
And shout, the lord is king!
IV
Low at His feet, ye Seraphs, fall;His praise, ye Cherubs, sing:
Shout, all ye Heav'ns, on whom we call,
O shout, the lord is king!
V
Hail Him, ye saints, whose love for youHath drawn the monster's sting:
O render to the lord His due,
And shout, the lord is king!
VI
Let salem's sons their pow'rs employ,And strike the chorded string;
While choral bands, with bursts of joy,
High shout, the lord is king!
VII
Cry out and shout, fair zion's land!Ye priests, your offerings bring:
Watchmen! that on her ramparts stand,
And shout, the lord is king!
25
VIII
Rise from the dust, ye Heirs of Grace,And, with expanded wing,
Ascend to Him who fills all space,
And shout, the lord is king!
IX
Let worlds above, and worlds below,In songs united sing;
And, while eternal ages flow,
Loud shout, the lord is king!
