We sing the glo -- rious prais -- es of Is -- rael's Lord and King,

His own dear flock pro -- claimed her, yet knew she'd go a -- stray.

A full -- ness of Great Na -- tions, to ren -- o -- vate the world.

The Roy -- al Seed and King -- dom were found a -- cross the sea.

And we, no long -- er faith -- less to love so strong and sure,

By li -- on -- hear -- ted ef -- fort we shall His TRUST de -- serve.

A -- men.
