Conquering Prince and Lord of glory,
Majesty enthroned in light;
All the heavens are bowed before Thee,
Far beyond them spreads Thy might;
Shall not I fall at Thy feet,
And my heart with rapture beat,
Now Thy glory is displayed,
Thine ere yet the worlds were made?
As I watch Thee far ascending
To the right hand of the throne,
See the host before Thee bending,
Praising Thee in sweetest tone;
Shall not I too at Thy feet
Here the angels’ strain repeat,
And rejoice that heaven doth ring
With the triumph of my King?
Far and wide, Thou heavenly Sun,
Now Thy brightness streams abroad,
And Heaven's host anew hath won
Light and gladness from its Lord;
Hark, how yon unnumber'd throng
Welcome Thee with joyous song:
See Thy children weak and few
Here would cry Hosanna too.
Of Thy cup shall I not drink,
Now Thy glories o'er me shine?
Shall my courage ever sink,
Now I know all power is Thine?
I will trust Thee, O my King,
And will fear no earthly thing,
Henceforth will I bow the knee
To no ruler, save to Thee.
Power and Spirit now o'erflow,
On me also be they pour'd,
Till Thy last and mightiest foe
Hath been made Thy footstool, Lord;
Yea, let earth's remotest end
To Thy righteous sceptre bend,
Make Thy way before Thee plain,
O'er all hearts and spirits reign.
Lo! Thy presence filleth now
All Thy Church in every place,
To my heart, oh enter Thou,
See it thirsteth for Thy grace;
Come, Thou King of glory, come,
Deign to make my heart Thy home,
There abide and rule alone,
As upon Thy heavenly throne!
Parting, dost Thou bring Thy life,
God and heaven, most inly near:
Let me rise o'er earthly strife,
As though still I saw Thee here,
And my heart transplanted hence,
Strange to earth and time and sense,
Dwell with Thee in heaven e'en now,
Where our only joy art Thou!
