Disciples of Christ -- Hymns; Hymns, English
King Jesus, reign for evermore,
Unrivaled in thy courts above;
While we, with all thy saints, adore
The wonders of redeeming love.
2 No other Lord but thee we’ll know
No other power but thine confess;
We’ll spread thine honors while below,
And heaven shall hear us shout thy grace.
3 We’ll sing along the heavenly road
That leads us to thy blest abode;
Till with the vast unnumbered throng
We join in heaven’s triumphant song—
4 Till with pure hands and voices sweet,
We cast our crowns at Jesus feet,
And sing of everlasting love
In everlasting strains above.
209 L. M.
All nations shall serve him.
Psalm 72:11.
Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
2 For him shall endless prayer be made,
And praises throng to crown his head;
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.
3 People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name.
4 Blessings abound where’er he reigns;
The prisoner leaps to loose his chains,
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.
5 Where he displays his healing power,
Death and the curse are known no more;
In him the tribes of Adam boast
More blessings than their father lost.
6 Let every creature rise, and bring
Peculiar honors to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the long Amen.
210 L. M.
Give the King thy judgments.
Psalm 72:1.
Exalted Prince of Life, we own
The royal honors of thy throne;
’Tis fixed by God’s almighty hand,
And seraphs bow at thy command.
2 Exalted Saviour, we confess
The mighty triumphs of thy grace;
Where beams of gentle radiance shine
And temper majesty divine.
3 Wide thy resistless scepter sway,
Till all thine enemies obey;
Wide let thy cross its virtues prove,
And conquer millions by its love!
211 L. M.
My heart is inditing a good matter.
Psalm 45:1.
Now be my heart inspired to sing
The glories of my Saviour King;
He comes with blessings from above,
And wins the nations to his love.
2 Thy throne, O Lord, for ever stands;
Grace is the scepter in thy hands;
Thy laws and works are just and right,
But truth and mercy thy delight.
3 Let endless honors crown thy head;
Let every age thy praises spread;
Let all the nations know thy word,
And every tongue confess thee Lord.
