Lord, what is man? ’Tis He who died
 
And all Thy nature glorified;
 
Thy righteousness and grace displayed
 
When He for sin atonement made;
 
Obedient unto death, was slain — 
 
Worthy is He o’er all to reign.

Thy counsels ere the world began,
 
All centered in the Son of Man;
 
Him destined to the highest place,
 
Head of His church through sovereign grace;
 
To Him enthroned in majesty,
 
Let every creature bend the knee.

Worthy, O Son of Man, art Thou
 
Of every crown that decks Thy brow;
 
Worthy art Thou to be adored,
 
And owned as universal Lord;
 
Oh, hasten that long-promised day,
 
When all shall own Thy rightful sway!
“His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.” (Revelation 19:12)
