1 In loud exalted strains,
The King of glory praise:
O'er heav'n and earth He reigns,
Through everlasting days;
But Zion, with His presence blest,
In His delight, His chosen rest.

2 O King of Glory, come
And with Thy favor crown
This temple as Thy home,
this people as Thy own;
Beneath this roof vouchsafe to show
How God can dwell with men below.

3 Now let Thine ear attend
Our supplicating cries;
Now let our praise ascend,
Accepted, to the skies;
Now let Thy Gospel's joyful sound
Spread its celestial influence round.
