108. Lord of Life, and King of Glory

8,7.
1
Lord of life, and King of glory!
 
Now to Thee our hearts we raise;
 
While we sing the joyful story
 
Of the triumphs of Thy grace.
“And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.” (Acts 3:15)
“Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.” (Psalm 24:7-10)
2
Long in error’s path benighted,
 
Deeply sunk in sin’s abyss,
 
We Thy proffered mercy slighted,
 
Would not have eternal bliss.
3
Straying then on sin’s dark mountain,
 
Thou didst bid us cease to roam,
 
Make us see the living fountain,
 
Call with power Thy wanderers home.
4
Jesus, strength of our salvation,
 
None can pluck us from Thy hand;
 
In the hour of dark temptation,
 
Kept by Thee we safely stand.
5
Though by enemies surrounded,
 
Onward still our steps we wend;
 
All our foes shall be confounded,
 
Safely come our journey’s end.
6
Grace begun shall end in glory;
 
Jesus, He the victory won;
 
In His own triumphant story
 
Is the record of our own.
