Let us sing the King Messiah,
King of righteousness and peace;
Hail Him, all His happy subjects,
never let His praise cease:
|:Ever hail Him; :|
Never let His praises cease.
How transcendent are Thy glories,
Fairer than the sons of men,
While Thy blessèd mediation
Brings us back to God again:
|:Blest redeemer, :|
How we triumph in Thy reign!
Gird Thy sword on, mighty hero,
Make the word of truth Thy car;
Prosper in Thy course, majestic;
All success attend Thy war:
|:Gracious victor, :|
Let mankind before Thee bow.
Majesty combined with meekness,
Righteousness and peace unite
To ensure Thy blessèd conquests:
On, great prince, assert Thy right:
|:Ride triumphant :|
All around the conquered globe.
Blest are all that touch Thy sceptre;
Blest are all that own Thy reign,
Freed from sin,
that worst of tyrants,
Rescued from its galling chain:
|:Saints and angels, :|
All who know Thee bless Thy reign.
---Alternative verses---
Let us sing the King Messiah,
King of righteousness and peace;
Hail Him, all His happy subjects,
never let His praise cease:
|:Ever hail Him; :|
Let his honors still increase!
