| 1. | Lord of glory, we adore Thee! |
| | Christ of God, ascended high! |
| | Heart and soul we bow before Thee, |
| | Glorious now beyond the sky: |
| | Thee we worship, Thee we praise- |
| | Excellent in all Thy ways. |
| 2. | Anointed King, with glory crownŠd, |
| | Rightful Heir and Lord of all! |
| | Once rejected, scorned, disownŠd, |
| | E'en by those Thou cam'st to call: |
| | Thee we honor, Thee adore- |
| | Glorious now and evermore. |
| 3. | Lord of life! to death once subject; |
| | Blesser, yet a curse once made; |
| | Of Thy Father's heart the object, |
| | Yet in depths of anguish laid; |
| | Thee we gaze on, Thee recall- |
| | Bearing here our sorrows all. |
| 4. | Royal robes shall soon invest Thee, |
| | Royal splendors crown Thy brow; |
| | Christ of God, our souls confess Thee |
| | King and Sov'reign even now! |
| | Thee we rev'rence, Thee obey- |
| | Own Thee Lord and Christ alway. |
