Author: Henry Arthur Martin Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: The heav'nly King must come Lyrics: 1 The heav'nly King must come His desert realm to see; Must leave His own eternal home And all His majesty. 2 And lo! before Him sent His herald who must cry And never spare, "Repent, repent! Your King, your God, is nigh!" 3 He, when his work is done, Must see his light decay, Must hail with joy the brighter Sun, The glorious King of day. 4 O Lord, O King, O Sun, Whose messenger he came, Baptize us all, most holy One, In Thy refining flame. 5 Give us Thy grace, that we All evil may forsake, May boldly speak the truth for Thee, The lowest place may take. 6 So, when Thou com'st again, Thy realm redeemed to see, Thy steps shall find 'mid hearts of men A way made straight for Thee. Amen. Topics: Church Year Minor Festivals; Names and Office of Christ King; Names and Office of Christ Sun Used With Tune: FRANCONIA

How Beauteous are Their Feet

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 712 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are at their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet their tidings are! Zion, behold thy Saviour King; He reigns and triumphs here. 3 How happy are our ears, That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blesséd are our eyes That see this heavenly light! Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad; Let all the nations now behold Their Saviour and their God. Amen. Topics: The Church Used With Tune: FRANCONIA
