My heart its noblest theme has found,
O Thou! with royal splendour ???
Messiah! taught thy power to ???
How shall my mouth with praise ???
Hail! fairer than the sons of men;
Grace on thy lips and beauty reign,
That speak Thee honoured from above,
And blessed with God’s eternal love.
Hail! Thou, whom nations own their Lord;
Gird on thy thigh thy conquering sword;
By mercy, truth, and justice led,
Ride glorious on, thy conquests spread.
The Lord thy God, who formed the skies,
Has o’er thy fellows bid Thee rise;
And, pleases, the Spirit’s influence shed,
The oil of gladness, o’er thy head.
