O King of Kings, Before Whose Throne

O King of kings

be­fore whose throne

The an­gels bow

no gift can we

Present that is in­deed our own

Since Heav­en and earth be­long to Thee;

Yet this our souls through grace im­part

The of­fer­ing of a thank­ful heart.

O Je­su

set at God’s right hand

With Thine eter­nal Fa­ther plead

For all Thy loy­al-heart­ed band

Who still on earth Thy suc­cor need:

For them in weak­ness strength pro­vide

And through the world their foot­steps guide.

O Ho­ly Spir­it

fount of breath

Whose com­forts nev­er fail nor fade

Vouchsafe the life that knows no death

Vouchsafe the light that knows no shade;

And grant that we may through all our days

May share Thy gifts

and sing Thy praise.
