Supremely fair you are, your lips with grace o'erflow; his richest blessings evermore does God on you bestow. 2 Now gird you with your sword, O strong and mighty one, in splendid majesty arrayed, more glorious than the sun. Triumphantly ride forth for meekness, truth, and right; your arm shall gain the victory in wondrous deeds of might. 3 Your strength shall overcome all those that hate the King, and under your dominion strong the nations you shall bring. Your royal throne, O God, forevermore shall stand; eternal truth and justice wield the scepter in your hand. 4 Since you were sinless found, the Lord, by you confessed, anointed you with perfect joy, you are supremely blessed. Your garments breathe of myrrh and spices sweet and rare; glad strains of heav'nly music ring thro'out your palace fair. 5 Amid your glorious train the royal daughters stand, and fairest gems bedeck your bride, the queen at your right hand. O royal bride, give heed, my holy words attend; for Christ, the King, forsake the world and ev'ry former friend.
