Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9794 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Daughters of Sion, come, behold
The crown of honor and of gold
Which the glad church, with joys unknown,
Placed on the head of Solomon.
2 Jesus, Thou everlasting King,
Accept the tribute which we bring;
Accept the well deserved renown,
And wear our praises as Thy crown.
3 Let every act of worship be
Like our espousals, Lord, to Thee;
Like the clear hour when from above
We first received Thy pledge of love.
4 The gladness of that happy day,
Our hearts would wish it long to stay;
Nor let our faith forsake its hold,
Nor comfort sink, nor love grow cold.
5 Each following minute, as it flies,
Increase Thy praise, improve our joys,
Till we are raised to sing Thy name
At the great supper of the Lamb.
6 O that the months would roll away,
And bring that coronation day!
The King of Grace shall fill the throne,
With all His Father’s glories on. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. DROSTANE
