The Lord Is King! (Perronet)

Hail

ho­ly

ho­ly

ho­ly Lord!

Let pow­ers im­mor­tal sing;

Adore the co-eter­nal Word

And shout

The Lord is King!

To Thee all an­gels cry aloud

Thy name ho­san­nas ring;

Around Thy throne their my­ri­ads crowd

And shout

The Lord is King!

Hail Him

they cry

ye sons of light

Of joy the eter­nal spring;

Hail Him who formed you by His might

And shout

The Lord is King!

Low at His feet

ye ser­aphs

fall;

His praise

ye cher­ubs

sing:

Shout all ye heav’ns

on whom we call;

O shout

The Lord is King!

Hail Him

ye saints

whose love for you

Hath drawn the mon­ster’s sting:

O ren­der to the Lord His due

And shout

The Lord is King!

Let Sa­lem’s foes their pow­ers em­ploy

And strike the chord­ed string;

While chor­al bands

with bursts of joy

High shout

The Lord is King!

Cry out and shout

fair Zi­on’s land!

Ye priests

your of­fer­ings bring:

Watchmen! that on her ram­parts stand

And shout

The Lord is King!

Rise from the dust

ye heirs of grace

And

with ex­pand­ed wing

Ascend to Him who fills all space

And shout

The Lord is King!

Let worlds above

and worlds be­low

In songs unit­ed sing;

And

while eter­nal ag­es flow

Loud shout

The Lord is King!
