Savior King! In Hallowed Union

lyricist: Anonymous, 1856
Composer: Christian Witt, 1715

Savior king! in hal­lowed un­ion

At Thy sac­red feet

we bow:

Heart with heart

in blest com­mun­ion

Join to crave Thy fa­vor now.

Heavenly fount! Thy streams of bless­ing

Oft have cheered us on our way:

By Thy pow­er and grace un­ceas­ing

We con­tin­ue to this day.

Raise

we then

in glad emo­tion

Thankful lays; and

while we sing

Vow a pure

a full de­vo­tion

To Thy work

O Sav­ior King.

When we tell the won­drous sto­ry

Of Thy rich

ex­haust­less love

Send Thy Spir­it

Lord of glo­ry

On the youth­ful heart to move.

Oh

that He

the ev­er-liv­ing

May des­cend as fruit­ful rain;

Till the wil­der­ness

re­viv­ing

Blossom as the rose again.

Then

may they

whom we have guid­ed

Life’s tem­pes­tu­ous ocean o’er

In the home Thou hast pro­vid­ed

Meet us

to de­part no more.

There

be­side the crys­tal riv­er

Flowing from the eter­nal throne

Shall arise to Thee

for­ev­er

Praise more sweet than earth has known.
