|
<p>Jesus, Thou everlasting King,<br>
|
|
Accept the tribute which we bring;<br>
|
|
Accept the well deserved renown,<br>
|
|
And wear our praises as Thy crown.</p>
|
|
<p>Daughters of Zion, come, behold<br>
|
|
The crown of honor and of gold<br>
|
|
Which the glad church, with joys unknown,<br>
|
|
Placed on the head of Solomon.</p>
|
|
<p>Let every act of worship be<br>
|
|
Like our espousals, Lord, to Thee;<br>
|
|
Like the dear hour when from above,<br>
|
|
We first received Thy pledge of love.</p>
|
|
<p>The gladness of that happy day,<br>
|
|
Our hearts would wish it long to stay;<br>
|
|
Nor let our faith forsake its hold,<br>
|
|
Nor comfort sink, nor love grow cold.</p>
|
|
<p>Each following minute, as it flies,<br>
|
|
Increase Thy praise, improve our joys,<br>
|
|
Till we are raised to sing Thy Name,<br>
|
|
At the great supper of the Lamb.</p>
|
|
<p>O that the months would roll away,<br>
|
|
And bring that coronation day!<br>
|
|
The King of Grace shall fill the throne,<br>
|
|
With all His Father’s glories on.</p>
