¶Lyrics / Text

O King most high of earth and sky, On prostrate death thou treadest And with thy blood dost mark the road Whereby to heav’n thou leadest. Lord of our love, enthroned above, Beside the Almighty Father, Thou wilt not leave thy flock to grieve But to thyself wilt gather. O Christ, behold thine orphan’d fold, Which thou hast borne with anguish, Steep’d in the tide from thy rent side; O leave us not to languish. The glorious gain of all thy pain Henceforth thou dost inherit; Now comes the hour, then gently show’r On us thy promis’d Spirit. Jesu, to thee all glory be With Sire and Spirit ascending; Thy throne doth stand at God’s right hand Through ages without ending.
