1 A royal guest stands at the door,
He's altogether lovely;
None such was ever seen before,
He's altogether lovely.
Chorus:
Altogether lovely,
Altogether lovely,
Fairest among ten thousand,
He's altogether lovely.
2 There's naught about him to condemn,
He's altogether lovely;
Fairest among the sons of men,
He's altogether lovely. [Chorus]
3 His eyes are brighter far than day,
He's altogether lovely;
His smile is sweeter far than May,
He's altogether lovely. [Chorus]
4 Tho' looked at human or divine,
He's altogether lovely;
Ten thousand beauties 'round him shine,
He's altogether lovely. [Chorus]
5 I'll sing, while here on earth I stay,
He's altogether lovely;
And then I'll sing thro' endless day,
He's altogether lovely. [Chorus]
