-Bright King of glory, dreadful God!
-Our spirits bow before thy seat,
-To thee we lift an humble thought,
-And worship at thine awful feet.
-Thy power hath formed, thy wisdom sways,
-All nature with a sovereign word;
-And the bright world of stars obeys
-The will of their superior Lord.
-Mercy and truth unite in one,
-And smiling sit at thy right hand;
-Eternal justice guards thy throne,
-And vengeance waits thy dread command.
-A thousand seraphs, strong and bright,
-Stand round the glorious Deity;
-But who amongst the sons of light
-Pretends comparison with thee?
-Yet there is one of human frame,
-Jesus, arrayed in flesh and blood,
-Thinks it no robbery to claim
-A full equality with God.
-Their glory shines with equal beams,
-Their essence is for ever one,
-Though they are known by diff'rent names,
-The Father God, and God the Son.
-Then let the name of Christ our King
-With equal honors be adored;
-His praise let every angel sing,
-And all the nations own their Lord.
