Lyics

LET us sing the King Messiah,

King of righteousness and peace,

Hail 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!

Blest Redeemer,

How we triumph in Thy reign!



Gird Thy sword on, Mighty Hero,

Make Thy word of truth Thy car,

Prosper in Thy course triumphant,

All success attend Thy war!

Gracious Victor,

Let mankind before Thee bow!
