The Hymnal ‎#297

297. Arise, O King of grace, arise

1 Arise, O King of grace, arise,
And enter to thy rest:
Lo! Thy Church waits with longing eyes
Thus to be owned and blessed.

2 Enter with all thy glorious train,
Thy Spirit and Thy word;
All that the ark did once contain
Could no such grace afford.

3 Here, mighty God, accept our vows,
Here let Thy praise be spread;
Bless the provisions of Thy house
And fill Thy poor with bread.

4 Here let the Son of David reign,
Let God's Anointed shine;
Justice and truth His court maintain,
With love and power divine.

5 Here let Him hold a lasting throne;
And, as His kingdom grows,
Fresh honors shall adorn His crown,
And shame confound His foes.
