- 1Arise, O King of grace, arise,
- And enter to thy rest:
- Lo! Thy Church waits with longing eyes
- Thus to be owned and blessed.
- 2Enter with all thy glorious train,
- Thy Spirit and Thy word;
- All that the ark did once contain
- Could no such grace afford.
- 3Here, mighty God, accept our vows,
- Here let Thy praise be spread;
- Bless the provisions of Thy house
- And fill Thy poor with bread.
- 4Here let the Son of David reign,
- Let God's Anointed shine;
- Justice and truth His court maintain,
- With love and power divine.
- 5Here let Him hold a lasting throne;
- And, as His kingdom grows,
- Fresh honors shall adorn His crown,
- And shame confound His foes.
