JESUS, Thou everlasting King, Accept the tribute which we bring; Accept the well-deserved renown, And wear our praises as Thy crown. |
|||
2 | Let every act of worship be Like our espousals, Lord, to Thee; Like the dear hour when from above We first received Thy pledge of love. |
||
3 | The gladness of that happy day Our hearts would wish it long to stay; Nor let our faith forsake its hold, Nor comfort sink, nor love grow cold. |
||
4 | Each following minute as it flies, Increase Thy praise, improve our joys, Till we are raised to sing Thy name At the great Supper of the Lamb. |
||
5 | O that the months would roll away, And bring that coronation day; The King of Grace shall fill the throne, His Father’s glory all His own. |

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 |
