Jesus, everlasting King,
Accept the tribute which we bring;
Accept the well deserved renown,
And wear our praises as Your crown.
1. O send Your Spirit to impart
Rest and repentance to our hearts,
Like the dear hour when from above
We first received Your pledge of love.
Repeat chorus
2. The gladness of redemption’s day,
Our hearts would wish it long to stay,
Nor let our faith forsake its hold,
Nor comforts sink, or love grow cold.
Repeat chorus
3. May every time of worship see
Your grace revealed more rich and free,
Till we are raised to sing Your name
At the great supper of the Lamb.
Repeat chorus
4. O that the months would roll away
And bring the coronation day;
The King of Grace shall fill the throne
With all His Father’s glories on.
Repeat chorus twice

Jesus, Thou everlasting King,
Accept the tribute which we bring;
Accept the well-deserved renown,
And wear our praises as Thy crown.
Let every act of worship be,
Like our espousals, Lord, to Thee;
Like the dear hour when from above
We first received Thy pledge of love.
The gladness of that happy day;
Our hearts would wish it long to stay;
Nor let our faith forsake its hold,
Nor comforts sink, nor love grow cold.
Each following minute while it
stays,
Improve our joys, increase Thy praise,
Till we are raised to sing Thy name
At the great supper of the Lamb.
Oh that the months would roll away,
And bring the coronation day!
The King of Grace shall fill the throne,
With all His Father's glories on.
