(Rev. 19:11-16; 1 Tim. 6:13-15; Esther 6:7-11)
Bring forth the royal vestments
The King doth use to wear,
For Him His soul delights to own
Of heaven and earth the heir;
And fairer than the comeliest
Of all the sons of men,
For meekness and for righteousness,
He’ll ride in triumph then.
The King of kings and Lord of lords
Proclaims His glorious worth,
Sending Him forth in victory,
To rule His ransomed earth;
A name He hath of hidden depth,
That none can know but He,
A token of the Father’s love,
That name of secrecy.
Hear ye the proclamation
That rings upon the air
“The King of kings and Lord of lords,”
It blazons everywhere;
For thus shall it be done to Him
The King delights to own
With honor and with majesty,
Crowned with His royal crown.
The glory of the risen Man
The universe doth fill,
For He alone, the Lord from heaven
Has done the Father’s will;
Anointed high above the rest,
With gladness and with joy,
The praises of ten thousand tongues
His beauty shall employ.
Pale not, ye kingdom glories!
Until the blissful day,
When all into subjection brought,
Beneath Messiah’s sway,
The glories of the subject Son
The bride of Christ shall tell,
And God with man upon the earth
For evermore shall dwell.
