¶Lyrics / Text

:::::''1.'' :In royal robes of splendor, :Before the great King’s feet, :The princes of His kingdom, :The crowned Apostles, meet; :To Him their songs adoring :With heart and tongue they bring, :Pure hearts and mighty voices— :E’en as the angels sing. :::::''2.'' :This Order sheds its luster :O’er all the human race; :A court of righteous judgment, :The rock of Gospel grace; :Rock of His Church, for ages :Elected and foreknown; :Whose glorious Master-Builder :Is Head and Cornerstone. :::::''3.'' :These are the Nazareans, :Famed heralds to the world, :Who, preaching Christ, His banner :Of victory unfurled; :Day unto day shows knowledge; :Night utters speech to night; :So these to earth’s four corners :Their wondrous tale recite. :::::''4.'' :Christ’s burden light they proffer, :His easy yoke proclaim; :The seed of life they scatter, :That all may own His Name. :The earth brought forth and budded, :Where’er their ploughshare ran, :And fruits of increase followed :The faith of God made Man. :::::''5.'' :These are the sure foundation :On which the Temple stands; :The living stones compacting :That house not made with hands; :The gates by which man enters :Jerusalem the new; :The bond which knits together :The Gentile and the Jew. :::::''6.'' :Let error flee before them, :Let truth extend her way; :Let dread of final judgment :To faith and love give way; :That, loosed from our offenses, :We then may numbered be :Among Thy saints in glory :Around the throne with Thee. '''Lyrics: '''Adam of St. Victor (?-1182) (''Stola regni laureatus''); translated from Latin to English by Jackson Mason and the compilers of ''Hymns Ancient and Modern'', 1889.
