46b. The Coronation of Jesus Christ

1 The King rejoiceth in Thy strength,
In Thy salvation, Lord Most High,
For Thou hast filled His heart's desire,
His prayer Thy love doth not deny.

2 A kingly crown Thou givest Him,
Thy blessings meet Him on His ways;
He asked for life, and unto Him
Thou gavest endless length of days.

3 With majesty and honor crowned,
How great His glory in Thy grace!
Forever blest, Thou makest Him
With joy to live before Thy face.

4 The King doth in Jehovah trust,
His loving-kindness He hath proved;
Confiding in the Lord Most High
He standeth evermore unmoved.
