1
The Lord is king, O praise his name,
over all the earth his grace proclaim!
From age to age, from day to day,
his wonders grow more gloriously.
2.
Oh, see the mighty hand of God,
his love and mercy changeth not!
His blood and righteousness avail,
his grace and pardon never fail!
3
This shall the song forever be
of saints before the crystal sea:
O Christ, that on the cross hath bled,
hath safely through life's valley led.
4
O Star that lights the pilgrim's way!
Our Lord of lords, our hope and stay!
The head to whom we homage bring,
the rock to which our faith may cling! |
1a
So lange Jesus bleibt der Herr,
Wird's alle Tage herrlicher.
So war's, so ist's, so wird es sein
Bei seiner gläubigen Gemein.
