Exalt, O God, thy glorious Son!
Throughout the world his will be done;
Set up on earth his promised throne;
And make all hearts and hands his own.
Soft as the dews from heaven descend,
He comes, he comes, the sinner’s friend!
The fallen to raise, the meek to bless;
And reign o’er all in righteousness.
As bright and lasting as the sun,
From sea to sea his sway shall run;
Kings to his footstool shall repair,
And nations find their refuge there.
Prayer to his throne shall daily rise,
His praises sound through earth and skies;
His grace on all that live be poured,
And all but live to serve the Lord.
Thrice welcome to the King of Kings,
Who comes with healing in his wings;
From age to age, from shore to shore,
His name be praised for evermore.
