We have a most glorious King;
|
|
| 1. | We have a most glorious King; |
| | The heavens, He says, are His throne; |
| | All worlds are His mighty domain, |
| | All kingdoms His scepter shall own. |
| | He dwells with His people below, |
| | He love in their trials to share; |
| | We dwell with the King for His work, |
| | His burden we willingly bear. |
| 2. | I'm dwelling in Jesus my King; |
| | I've found where He dwells with His |
| | own; |
| | I've opened the door of my heart; |
| | He's made it His temple and throne. |
| | Like Mary I sit at His feet, |
| | Like John I recline on His breast; |
| | His presence is fulness of joy, |
| | His bosom is infinite rest. |
| 3. | I dwell with the King for His work, |
| | I've part in His glorious plan |
| | To bring in His kingdom to earth |
| | And tell His salvation to man. |
| | The world has its work and rewards, |
| | I count them but folly and loss; |
| | My business is only His work, |
| | My message is only His cross. |
| 4. | I dwell with the King for His work, |
| | The work, it is His and not mine; |
| | He plans and prepares it for me |
| | And fills me with power divine. |
| | So duty is changed to delight, |
| | And prayer into praise as I sing; |
| | I dwell with my King for His work |
| | And work in the strength of my King. |
| 5. | We'll dwell with the King for His work |
| | And work thru each day of the year. |
| | Perhaps ere it passes, the King |
| | In glory Himself shall appear. |
| | Oh, then in some closer embrace, |
| | Oh, then in some nobler employ |
| | We'll dwell with the King for His work |
| | In endless, ineffable joy! |
