1 Hail, holy, holy, holy Lord!
Let pow'rs immortal sing,
Adore the co-eternal Word,
Rejoice, the Lord is King!

2 To Thee all angels cry aloud,
Thy name hosannas ring;
Around Thy throne their myriads crowd
And shout, the Lord is King!

3 Hail Him, they cry, ye sons of light,
Of joy th' eternal Spring;
Praise Him Who formed you by His might,
Rejoice, the Lord is King!

4 Hail Him, ye saints, whose love for you
Has drawn the monster's sting;
O render to the Lord His due:
Rejoice, the Lord is King!

5 Let worlds above and worlds below
In songs united sing;
And, while eternal ages flow,
Rejoice, the Lord is King!

Amen.

CORONATION (Holden)

Like MILES LANE (470), CORONATION was written for this text. Oliver Holden (b. Shirley, MA, 1765; d. Charlestown, MA, 1844) composed the tune in four parts with a duet in the third phrase. The tune, whose title comes from the theme of Perronet's text, was published in Holden's Union Harmony (1793).…
