122. Jesus, Thou Glorious Priest and King | L.M. |
| by Watts |
|
|

|
| 1 | Jesus, Thou glorious Priest and King! | Hebrews 5:6; 1 Timothy 6:15 |
| Accept the tribute that we bring; |
| Accept the feeble song of praise |
| Which here on earth Thy people raise. |
|
| 2 | May every minute as it flies | Revelation 19:9 |
| Augment our love, increase our joys, |
| Till we are brought to sing Thy name |
| At the glad supper of the Lamb. |
|
| 3 | And soon the months will roll away, | Revelation 3:21 |
| And quickly come the nuptial day, |
| When Thou, the Lamb, shalt take Thy throne, |
| And fully there Thy church shalt own. |
|
| 4 | The gladness of that happy day, | Romans 12:12; Hebrews 6:19; Colossians 2:5; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Romans 15:4; Matthew 24:12 |
| In this sad world's our strength and stay; |
| Then let not faith forsake its hold, |
| Nor comfort sink, nor love grow cold. |
