Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 LORD, to you we lift our voices,
sing to praise your glorious might;
see, th'anointed king rejoices!
In your strength is his delight:
heart's desires, heartfelt prayers,
he finds favor in your sight.
2 LORD, you welcomed him with blessing,
purest gold his head has crowned;
life forever, days unceasing,
in your presence joys abound:
his the glory, his the vict'ry,
for in him true faith is found.
3 So this king will not be shaken,
held in love by God Most High;
by your hand your foes are taken,
at your coming they shall die:
fire consuming all their scheming,
all their hopes you will destroy.
4 In your strength, O LORD, uplifted,
you will rid this earth of wrongs.
With your wealth your king is gifted;
take the praises of our songs:
Son of David, high-ascended,
ev'ry pow'r to Christ belongs!
