I praise the King of kings.
I praise the King of kings.
Not by our might, but Thy pow­er,
Hark! how the bells at mid­night hour,
That as my days my strength shall be.
In strong and beau­te­ous or­der ranged,
Hear the joy-bells ring­ing, ring­ing,
My Sav­ior He has proved;
Shall echo the re­ply;
God will arise with light di­vine,
Pronounce the de­so­lat­ing word,
What has brought thy ca­dence here?
Save, save one!
Flowers breathe it in the grove,
For ev­er I’ll abide;
Thou Lord, de­fend this land of ours,
When fear and hate abound,
Live in the light and trust your Lord,
Princes, this clay must be your bed,
By sea or land, awake, asleep,

tow­er

To Him will I flee;
To Him will I flee;
Must dome and tow­er take up­ward flight.
Bringing glad tid­ings to the morn,
For as my days my strength shall be.
O ev­er pray for Sa­lem’s peace;
Hear the child­ren’s voic­es sing­ing,
I nev­er shall be moved.
Shall send the ec­ho round,
That light shall shine on dist­ant lands,
Crown Thy im­pa­tient peo­ple’s hope,
Sent me forth the world to cheer.
From the rag­ing li­on’s pow­er,
God is good­ness, God is love.
The re­fuge where I hide.
Thy bless­ing on its fu­ture shed
Darkness ad­vanc­es apace:
Because He died, we know we live,
The tall, the wise, the rev­er­end head
Maintain them through their earth­ly strife,
