Lord of Glory, We Adore You

Music by Lowell Mason, words by Richard Holden


Lord of glory, we adore You,
Christ of God, ascended high!
Heart and soul we bow before You,
Glorious now beyond the sky:
You we worship, You we praise,
Excellent in all Your ways.

Anointed King with glory crowned,
Rightful heir and Lord of all!
Once rejected, scorned, disowned,
E'en by those You came to call:
You we honor, You adore,
Glorious now and evermore.

Lord of life to death once subject;
Blesser, yet a curse once made;
Of Your Father's heart the object,
Yet in depths of anguish laid:
You we gaze on, You recall,
Bearing here our sorrows all.

Royal robes shall soon invest You,
Royal splendors crown Your brow;
Christ of God, our souls confess You,
King and Sovereign even now!
You we reverence, You obey;
Own You Lord and Christ always.
