LyicsLet us sing the King Messiah.
King of Righteousness and Peace;
Hal him, all his happy subjects,
never let his praises cease!
Ever hail him,
Let his honors still increase!
How transcendent are thy glories!
Fairer than the sons of men,
While thy blessed mediation
Brings us back to God again!
Bless'd Redeemer,
How we triumph in thy reign!
Gird thy sword on, Mighty Hero,
Make thy word of truth thy ear,
Prosper in thy course triumphant,
All success attend thy war!
Gracious Victor,
Let mankind before thee bow!
Blessed are all that touch thy scepter,
Blessed are all that own thy reign!
Freed from sin, that worst of tyrants,
Rescued from his galling chain!
Saints and angels,
All who know thee bless thy name!
