<p>Hark! the voice eternal, robed in majesty,<br>
Caging into being earth and sea and sky<br>
Hark! in countless numbers all the angel throng<br>
Hail creation&#8217;s morning with one burst of song.<br>
High in regal glory, &#8217;mid eternal light,<br>
Reign, O King immortal, holy, infinite.</p>
<p>Bright the world and glorious, calm both earth and sea,<br>
Noble in its grandeur stood man&#8217;s purity;<br>
Came the great transgression, came the saddening fall,<br>
Death and desolation breathing over all.<br>
Still in regal glory, &#8217;mid eternal light,<br>
Reigned the King immortal, holy, infinite.</p>
<p>Long the nations waited, through the troubled night,<br>
Looking, longing, yearning, for the promised light.<br>
Prophets saw the morning breaking far away,<br>
Minstrels sang the splendor of that opening day;<br>
Whilst in regal glory, &#8217;mid eternal light,<br>
Reigned the King immortal, holy, infinite.</p>
<p>Brightly dawned the advent of the newborn King,<br>
Joyously the watchers heard the angels sing.<br>
Sadly closed the evening of His hallowed life,<br>
As the noontide darkness veiled the last dread strife<br>
Lo! again in glory, &#8217;mid eternal light,<br>
Reigns the King immortal, holy, infinite.</p>
<p>Lo! again He cometh, robed in clouds of fight,<br>
As the Judge eternal, armed with power and might.<br>
Nations to His footstool gathered then shall be;<br>
Earth shall yield her treasures, and her dead, the sea.<br>
Till the trumpet soundeth, &#8217;mid eternal light<br>
Reign, thou King immortal, holy, infinite.</p>
<p>Jesus! Lord and Master, Prophet, Priest, and King,<br>
To thy feet, triumphant, hallowed praise we bring.<br>
Thine the pain and weeping, Thine the victory;<br>
Power, and praise, and honor, be, O Lord, to Thee.<br>
High in regal glory, &#8217;mid eternal light,<br>
Reign, O King immortal, holy, infinite.</p>
