O Jesu, King <strong>of</strong> Glory!<br />

Our Sov'reign <strong>and</strong> our Friend!<br />

Thy throne is fix'd in Heaven,<br />

Thy kingdom hath no end:<br />

Oh now to all men, far <strong>and</strong> near,<br />

Lord, make it known, we pray,<br />

That as in Heaven all creatures here<br />

May know <strong>The</strong>e <strong>and</strong> obey.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Eastern sages bringing<br />

<strong>The</strong>ir tribute-gifts to <strong>The</strong>e,<br />

Bear witness to Thy Kingdom,<br />

And humbly how the knee;<br />

To <strong>The</strong>e the Morning Star doth lead,<br />

To <strong>The</strong>e th' inspired Word,<br />

We hail <strong>The</strong>e, Saviour in our need,<br />

We worship <strong>The</strong>e, the Lord.<br />

Ah, look on me with pity,<br />

Though I am weak <strong>and</strong> poor,<br />

Admit me to Thy kingdom<br />

To dwell there blest <strong>and</strong> sure.<br />

Oh rescue me from all my woes,<br />

And shield me with Thine arm<br />

From Sin <strong>and</strong> Death, the mighty foes<br />

That daily seek our harm.<br />
