O Jesus King Of Glory Lyrics

1. O Jesus, King of glory!
Both David's Lord and Son!
Thy real endures forever
In heaven is fixed Thy throne;
Help, that in earth's dominions,
Throughout from pole to pole,
Thy realm may spread salvation
To each benighted soul.

2. The eastern sages, bringing
Their tribute gifts to Thee,
Bear witness to Thy kingdom,
And humbly bow the knee;
To Thee the star is pointing,
To Thee, th' incarnate Word;
Hence joyously we hail Thee:
Our Savior and our Lord!

3. Thou art a mighty monarch,
As by the word we're told!
Yet carest Thou but little
For earthly goods or gold;
On no proud steed Thou ridest,
Thou wear'st no jewelled crown,
Nor dwell'st in lordly castle,
But bearest scoff and crown.

4. Yet art Thou deck'd with beauty,
With rays of glorious light;
Thy heart is filled with goodness,
And all Thy ways are right;
Vouch-safe to shield Thy people
With Thine almighty arm,
That they may dwell in safety
From those who mean them harm.

5. And bid Thy word among us
Shine as the fairest star;
Keep sin and all false doctrine
Forever from us far;
Help us confess Thee truly,
And with Thy Christendom
Here own Thee King and Savior
And in the world to come.
