Disciples of Christ -- Hymns; Hymns, English
3 Jesus, our Priest, for ever lives
To plead for us above;
Jesus, our King, for ever gives
The blessings of his love.
4 God shall exalt his glorious head,
And his high throne maintain;
Shall strike the powers and princes dead,
Who dare oppose his reign.
205 8s & 7s.
Thou art worthy.
Crown his head with endless blessing,
Who, in God the Father’s name,
With compassion never ceasing,
Comes, salvation to proclaim.
2 Jesus, thee our Saviour hailing,
Thee our God in praise we own;
Highest honors, never failing,
Rise eternal round thy throne.
3 Now, ye saints, his power confessing,
In your grateful strains adore;
For his mercy, never ceasing,
Flows, and flows for evermore.
206 C. M.
Worthy the Lamb.
Come, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels round the throne;
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.
2 Worthy the Lamb that died, they cry,
To be exalted thus!
Worthy the Lamb, our lips reply,
For he was slain for us!
3 Jesus is worthy to receive
Honor and power divine;
And blessings more than we can give,
Be, Lord, for ever thine.
4 Let all who dwell above the sky,
On earth, in air, and seas,
Conspire to lift thy glories high,
And speak thy endless praise.
5 The whole creation join in one,
To bless the sacred name
Of him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.
207 8s, 7s & 4.
King of kings, etc.
Rev. 19:16.
Look, ye saints—the sight is glorious;
See the Man of Sorrows now
From the fight returned victorious;
Every knee to him shall bow.
Crown him! crown him!
Crowns become the Victor’s brow.
2 Crown the Saviour! angels, crown him!
Rich the trophies Jesus brings;
In the seat of power enthrone him,
While the heavenly concert rings,
Crown him! crown him!
Crown the Saviour King of kings.
3 Sinners in derision crowned him,
Mocking thus the Saviour’s claim;
Saints and angels! crowd around him,
Own his title, praise his name.
Crown him! crown him!
Spread abroad the Victor’s name.
4 Hark! those bursts of acclamation!
Hark! those loud triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station;
O, what joy the sight affords!
Crown him! crown him!
King of kings, and Lord of lords.
MEDIATORIAL REIGN.
208 L. M.
Of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Luke 1:33.
