Hymns of Consecration and Faith ‎#443

443. O Lord of Lords!

1 O Lord of lords and King of kings,
We praise Thy glorious Name;
The same today and yesterday,
And evermore the same!
Who for a world by sin undone
Cam’st down in love to die,
And sittest on Thy Father’s throne
In glory now on high.

2 O Lord of lords and King of kings,
We praise Thy holy Name;
That Thou did’st from Thy faithful Church
A glorious service claim,—
To bid the Gospel-trumpet sound
Far over land and sea,
Until the earth’s remotest bound
Thine own possession be.

3 O Lord of lords and King of kings,
We praise Thy blessed Name;
That to our father’s waking hearts
Anew Thy summons came;
Till, where the seed was sown in tears,
Fields white to the harvest lay,
The increase of the hundred years
A hundred-fold today!

4 O Lord of lords and King of kings,
We praise Thy gracious Name;
That in Thy worldwide work divine
Our part we too may claim;
O may we thus Thy Gospel-word
Proclaim from shore to shore,
Till all the earth shall hail Thee Lord,
And praise Thee evermore!
