SPECIAL OCCASIONS |
Great King of glory, come,
And with Thy favor crown This temple as Thy home, This people as Thine own; Beneath this roof, 0 deign to show How God can dwell with men below.
Here may Thine ears attend
Our interceding cries, And grateful praise ascend, Like incense, to the skies; Here may Thy word melodious sound, And spread celestial joys around.
Here may our unborn sons
And daughters sound Thy praise, And shine, like polished stones, Through long-succeeding days; Here, Lord, display Thy saving power, While temples stand and men adore.
Here may the listening throng
Receive Thy truth in love; Here Christians join the song Of seraphim above, Till all, who humbly seek Thy face, Rejoice in Thy abounding grace.
Great King of glory, come, |
Benjamin Francis (1734-1799) | John Darwall, 1770 |
