How the King of glo­ry
How the King of glo­ry
start
Their pat­tern and their king.
Once in roy­al Dav­id’s ci­ty
Light shines on what was dark be­fore,
start
Grace of God, so full and free,
In faith I would re­pair
To wor­ship Him who then afar
To wor­ship Him who then afar
Help me to be ho­ly, O Fa­ther of light;
But a match­less crown is up­on its head.
While the an­gel chor­us wakes the si­lent night?

Ride on! ride on in ma­jes­ty!
I crave but to be Thine;

Light is the bur­den that’s car­ried in meek­ness,

low­ly

Came a lit­tle strang­er,
Came a lit­tle strang­er,
No, not one! No, not one!
He doth Him­self im­part;
Where a mo­ther laid her ba­by
God wills that peace should be in earth
High work have we to do,
Canst Thou come and dwell in me?
My Sav­ior li­eth there,
Who, who is this, whose life and death,
Who, who is this, whose life and death,
How shall a stained con­sci­ence dare gaze on Thy face,
More roy­al is than prince­ly bed;
This is He that com­eth—God’s be­lov­èd Son:
There He lay, the un­de­filed, to the world a strang­er:
O Christ! Thy tri­umph now begin
Of these de­sires di­vine.
Whatsoe’er that bur­den be,
Come un­to Him, come un­to Him,
A lit­tle child is born
