7s.

1
King of glory, set on high,
 
Girt with strength and majesty,
 
We Thy holy name confess;
 
Thee with adoration bless.
“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)
“The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.” (Psalm 93:1)
2
Jesus, mighty Son of God!
 
Wondrous gift on man bestowed;
 
Many crowns are on Thy head,
 
Glorious Firstborn from the dead.
“Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.” (Matthew 27:54)
3
Gladly, Lord, we bow the knee,
 
By the Father’s just decree,
 
To His own anointed One;
 
To His well-belovèd Son.
