Hear the LORD address my Lord,
Speak the everlasting word:
Sit Thou crowned at My right hand,
Reign Thou now at My command;

All Thy foes a footstool made,
At Thy feet forever laid.
Ere the dawn Thy years had run--
Light of Light, begotten Son!

Glory! Glory! Crown the King!
Earth and heaven, rise and ring!

Zion, hail thy promised King,
Heaven's courts with anthems ring;
He whom seraphim adore
Lay an infant, small and poor;

He who holds the Father's throne
Made the manger straw His own;
Throned before the world begun,
Christmas crowns the deathless Son!

Glory! Glory! Crown the King!
Earth and heaven, rise and ring!

God has sworn; the vow is done:
"Thou art My begotten Son;
This the day I seat Thee mine,
Thine the throne and Thine the line."

Set upon the holy hill,
Zion's King by sovereign will;
Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall--
He is Lord and heir of all!

Glory! Glory! Crown the King!
Earth and heaven, rise and ring!
