Come, Thou Conqueror of the nations,
Now on Thy white horse appear;
Earthquakes, famines, desolations
Signify Thy kingdom near:
|:True and faithful!:|
Stablish Thy dominion here.
Thine the kingdom, power, and glory;
Thine the ransomed nations are.
Let the heathen fall before Thee,
Let the isles Thy power declare.
|:Judge and conquer:|
All mankind in righteous war.
Thee let all mankind admire,
Object of our joy and dread!
Flame Thine eyes with heavenly fire,
Many crowns upon Thy head.
|:But Thine essence:|
None, except Thyself, can read.
Yet we know our Mediator,
By the Father’s grace bestowed;
Meanly clothed in human nature,
Thee we call the Word of God.
|:Flesh Thy garment,:|
Dipped in Thy own sacred blood.
Captain, God of our salvation,
Thou Who hast the wine press trod,
Borne the Almighty’s indignation,
Quenched the fiercest wrath of God,
|:Take the kingdom,:|
Claim the purchase of Thy blood.
On Thy thigh and clothing written,
Show the world Thy heavenly Name,
That, with loving wonder smitten,
All may glorify the Lamb.
|:All adore Thee,:|
All the Lord of hosts proclaim.
Honor, glory, and salvation
To the Lord our God we give.
Power, and endless adoration,
Thou art worthy to receive.
|:Reign triumphant,:|
King of kings, forever live!
