Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church ‎#132

132. Hail, holy, holy, holy Lord!

1 Hail, holy, holy, holy Lord!
Let powers immortal sing,
Adore the co-eternal Word,
Rejoice, the Lord is King!

2 To Thee all angels cry aloud,
Thy Name hosannas ring;
Around Thy throne their myriads crowd,
And shout, "The Lord is King!"

3 Hail Him, they cry, ye sons of light,
Of joy th'eternal Spring;
Praise Him Who formed you by His might,
Rejoice, the Lord is King!

4 Hail Him, ye saints, Whose love for you
Has drawn the monster's sting;
O render to the Lord His due;
Rejoice, the Lord is King!

5 Cry out and shout, fair Zion's land!
Ye priests, your offerings bring;
Watchmen, that on her ramparts stand,
O shout, "The Lord is King!"

6 Let worlds above and worlds below,
In songs united sing;
And, while eternal ages flow,
Rejoice, the Lord is King!

Amen.
