JESU, my God and King,

By A Collection of Hymns


      2-6s & 4-7s.
      1 JESU, my God and King,
      Thy regal state I sing!
      Thou, and only thou, art great,
      High thine everlasting throne;
      Thou the sovereign Potentate,
      Blessed, immortal, thou alone.

      2 Essay your choicest strains,
      The King Messiah reigns!
      Tune your harps, celestial choir,
      Joyful all your voices raise;
      Christ, than earth-born monarchs higher,
      Sons of men and angels, praise!

      3 Hail your dread Lord and ours,
      Dominions, thrones, and powers!
      Source of power, he rules alone:
      Veil your eyes, and prostrate fall;
      Cast your crowns before his throne,
      Hail the Cause, the Lord of all!

      4 Let earth's remotest bound
      With echoing joys resound;
      Christ to praise let all conspire;
      Praise doth all to Christ belong:
      Shout, ye first-born sons of fire!
      Earth, repeat the glorious song!

      5 Worthy, O Lord, art thou,
      That every knee shall bow,
      Every tongue to thee confess,
      Universal nature join,
      Strong and mighty, thee to bless,
      Gracious, merciful, benign!

      6 Wisdom is due to thee,
      And might, and majesty;
      Thee in mercy rich we prove;
      Glory, honour, praise, receive;
      Worthy thou of all our love,
      More than all we pant to give.

      7 Justice and truth maintain
      Thine everlasting reign:
      One with thine almighty Sire,
      Partner of an equal throne,
      King of saints, let all conspire
      Gratefully thy sway to own!
