Author: Rev. Benj. Francis Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #482 (1894) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 In loud exalted strains,
The King of glory praise;
O'er heaven and earth He reigns,
Thro' everlasting days;
But Sion, with His presence blest,
In His delight, His chosen rest.
2 O King of glory, come;
And with Thy favor crown
This temple as Thy home,
This people as Thy own;
Beneath this roof vouchsafe to show
How God can dwell with men below.
3 Now let Thine ear attend
Our supplicating cries;
Now let our praise ascend,
Accepted, to the skies:
Now let Thy Gospel's joyful sound
Spread its celestial influence round.
4 Here may the listening throng
Imbibe Thy truth and love;
Here Christians join the song
Of seraphim above:
Till all who humbly seek Thy face
Rejoice in Thy abounding grace.
Amen. Topics: Consecration of Churches; Processional; House of God Tune Title: [In loud exalted strains]
