Horatio W. Parker - King of Glory - текст песни (слова)

1. In loud, exalted strains
 The King of Glory praise.
 O'er heaven and earth He reigns
 Through everlasting days;
 But, Sion, with His presence blest,
 Is His delight, His chosen rest. 
 
 2. O King of Glory, come
 And with Thy favor crown
 This temple as Thy home,
 This people as Thy own.
 Beneath this roof vouchsafe to show
 How God can dwell with men below. 
 
 3. Now let Thine ear attend
 Our supplicating cries;
 Now let our praise ascend,
 Accepted, to the skies;
 Now let Thy Gospel's joyful sound,
 Spread its celestial influence round. 
 
 4. Here may the list'ning throng
 Imbibe Thy truth and love;
 Here Christians join the song
 Of seraphim above:
 Till all who humbly seek Thy face
 Rejoice in Thy abounding grace. 
 Amen.
