Jesus Our Lord, Of Thee, The King

Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty; they shall behold the land that is far off. Isaiah 33:17

Pilate therefore said to him, Thou art then a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest [it], that I am a king. I have been born for this, and for this I have come into the world, that I might bear witness to the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears my voice. John 18:37

  1. Hebrews 7:2,3, John 18:37Jesus our Lord, of Thee, the King,

    Revelation 5:9, Psalms 45:1Our song shall ever be;

    Psalms 72:10,11, Psalms 45:17Our tribute now we gladly bring

    Matthew 2:11,12, Psalms 45:17To offer unto Thee.

    Matthew 15:31, Hebrews 13:15Thine hand hath ope'd these lips, once dumb,

    1 Peter 4:11, Psalms 150:1-6To sound Thy praise abroad;

    Acts 8:39, Ephesians 5:19To sing of Thee whilst travelling home

    Psalms 84:4-7, Ephesians 5:15Along the barren road.

  2. Psalms 49:6, Isaiah 37:11-13Men sing aloud the priase of man,

    Psalms 90:6, Isaiah 37:38The creature of a day,

    Psalms 90:9, Isaiah 40:6-8Whose little life is as a span,

    1 Peter 1:24, Isaiah 40:6-8Whose glory fades away.

    1 John 4:15, Galatians 2:20Of Thee our song, God's blessèd Son,

    1 John 4:15, Philippians 3:4In Thee we make our boast -

    Hebrews 13:8, 1 Timothy 3:16Th' eternal, changelss, blessèd One,

    1 Timothy 2:6, Revelation 5:9,10Theme of the ransomed host.

  3. Romans 8:22, Psalms 19:1Creation's work in every land,

    Genesis 1:31, Psalms 24:1Adorned and beautified,

    Jeremiah 12:4, Romans 3:16-18Is marred by man's ungrateful hand,

    Revelation 11:8, 2 Corinthians 2:8Where Thou wast crucified.

    Psalms 107:4, Philippians 3:19This makes the earth, bright though it seem,

    Psalms 107:4, Philippians 3:20A desert waste to us;

    Hebrews 13:12-14, Revelation 11:8No home can we the place esteem

    Isaiah 53:3, Revelation 11:8Which served our Saviour thus.

  4. 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 2 Peter 3:14Lord Jesus, here we wait for THee,

    Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16And as we wait we sing.

    2 Peter 1:19, Revelation 22:16E'en now the Morning Star we see

    Luke 9:22, John 18:37Of earth's rejected King.

    Revelation 5:9, Ephesians 5:19Ours then the nobler song to raise,

    2 Corinthians 4:6, 1 Thessalonians 4:17Before Thine own blest face,

    Philippians 4:4, Revelation 5:9And find unceasing joy in praise

    Hebrews 12:22,23, Revelation 5:9To Thee in that bright place.
