​Text Source:  Sammlung Auserlesener Geistlicher Lieder zum Gemeinschaftlichen Gesang, 1810
​Composer:  Johann Crüger, 1647 (1598-1662)​

​1. Lord Jesus, Thou art King;
    At God’s right hand Thou reignest.
    Thy praise the angels sing;
    Thy servants Thou sustainest.
    The world’s release didst Thou
    Upon the cross achieve.
    Look down in pity now,
    Its wretchedness relieve.
 
2. Thy gospel free and pure
    Send forth to ev’ry nation.
    Let all perceive Thy light,
    And welcome Thy salvation.
    Raise up Thy people true;
    Let ev’ry tongue and clime
    Sound forth Thy glorious praise,
    Exalt Thy name sublime.
 
3. Let ev’ry heart and knee
    In rev’rence bow before Thee,
    And in the very dust
    In humbleness adore Thee.
    Let ev’ry tongue confess
    That God His Son did raise
    To be a Saviour, King,
    Unto His Father’s praise.
 
4. Come, joyful day, Oh come!
    The promised word fulfilling,
    The longings of our heart,
    The soul’s desires stilling.
    The Kingdom and the might,
    All glory and all pow’r
    Be given now of God
    To Christ the Lord this hour.
 
5. His glorious rule shall be
    Unending and unbroken.
    The sceptre of His might,
    Of peace shall be the token.
    Ye nations, shout for joy;
    His praise let all proclaim.
    The whole round world tell forth
    The honor due His name.
 
6. The angel host on high
    Doth sing His praise in cadence,
    With cherub’s mighty power,
    With seraph’s purest radiance.
    The choir with golden harps
    Beside the crystal sea
    Doth raise the glad new song:
     “The Lamb’s high praise sing we.”
 
7. Four beings ’round the throne,
    The elders there before them,
    Exalt God and the Lamb
    His glory spreading o’er them,
    Before Him cast their crowns,
    Fall down and Him adore,
    Who saith: “I was, I am,
    And shall be evermore.”
 
8. Glory to God on high,
    To Father, Son, and Spirit,
    Whose faithful children all
    The Kingdom shall inherit.
    The host of Thine elect,
    The heavens broad and free,
    Praise Thee, great Trinity,
    Through all eternity.

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
