All hail, incarnate God!
The wond’rous things foretold.
Of thee, in sacred writ,
With joy our eyes behold:
Still does thine arm new trophies wear,
And monuments of glory rear.
To thee the hoary head*
Its silver honor pays;
To thee the blooming youth*
Devotes his brightest days:
And ev’ry age their tribute bring,
And bow to thee, all conqu’ring King.
*Composed on seeing an aged saint and a youth taken into church communion together.
O haste, victorious Prince,
That glorious, happy day,
When souls, like drops of dew,
Shall own thy gentle sway:
O may it bless our longing eyes,
And hear our shouts beyond the skies,
All hail, triumphant Lord,
Eternal be thy reign;
Behold the nations sue
To wear thy gentle chain:
When earth and time are known no more,
Thy throne shall stand for ever sure.
---Alternative verses---
All hail, redeeming Lord!
The wond’rous things foretold.
Of thee, in sacred writ,
With joy our eyes behold:
Still does thine arm new trophies wear,
And monuments of glory rear.
