Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XLVd (1780) Hymnal Title: The Psalms of David First Line: The King of saints, how fair his face Lyrics: 1 The King of saints, how fair his face,
Adorn'd with majesty and grace!
He comes with blessings from above,
And wins the nations to his love.
2 At his right hand our eyes behold
The Queen array'd in purest gold:
The world admires her heav'nly dress;
Her robe of joy and righteousness.
3 He forms her beauties like his own;
He calls and seats her near his throne:
Fair stranger, let thine heart forget
The idols of thy native state.
4 So shall the King the more rejoice,
In thee the fav'rite of his choice;
Let him be lov'd, and yet ador'd,
For he's thy maker and thy Lord.
5 O happy hour, when thou shalt rise
To his fair palace in the skies,
And all thy sons a num'rous train,
Each like a prince in glory reign.
6 Let endless honors crown his head;
Let ev'ry age his praises spread;
While we with cheerful songs approve
The condescensions of his love. Scripture: Psalm 45 Languages: English
