1 Bright King of glory, dreadful God!
Our spirits bow before thy seat,
To thee we lift an humble thought,
And worship at thine awful feet.
2 A thousand seraphs strong and bright
Stand round the glorious Deity;
But who amongst the sons of light
Pretends comparison with thee!
3 Yet there is one of human frame,
Jesus, array'd in flesh and blood,
Thinks it no robbery to claim
A full equality with God.
4 Their glory shines with equal beams;
Their essence is forever one,
Though they are known by different names,
The Father God, and God the Son.
5 Then let the name of Christ our King
With equal honors be ador'd;
His praise let every angel sing,
And all the nations own their Lord!
