Hail, thou King of them that live! On the Father's throne exalted none in might with thee may strive; who at last in judgement coming sinners from thy face shalt drive, evermore and evermore. 7 Christ, to thee, with God the Father, and, O Holy Ghost, to thee, hymn and chant and high thanksgiving and unwearied praises be, honour, glory, and dominion, and eternal victory, evermore and evermore.

By his word and Spirit led, we will follow Jesus. Still for us he lives to plead, at the throne doth intercede, offers help in time of need; we will follow Jesus. 2 Should the world and sin oppose, we will follow Jesus. He is greater than our foes; we will follow Jesus. On his promise we depend; he will hear us and defend, help and keep us to the end; we will follow Jesus. 3 Though the way may dark appear, we will follow Jesus. He will make our pathway clear; we will follow Jesus. In our daily round of care, as we plead with God in prayer, with the cross which we must bear, we will follow Jesus. 4 Ever keep that end in view; we will follow Jesus. All his promises are true; we will follow Jesus. When this earthly course is run, and the Master says, "Well done!" life eternal we have won; we will follow Jesus.
