¶Lyrics / Text

The Church of God a kingdom is, where Christ in power doth reign; where spirits yearn till, seen in bliss, their Lord shall come again. Glad companies of saints possess this Church below, above; and God’s perpetual calm doth bless their paradise of love. An altar stands within the shrine whereon, once sacrificed, is set, immaculate, divine, the Lamb of God, the Christ. There rich and poor, from countless lands, praise Christ on mystic rood; there nations reach forth holy hands to take God’s holy food. There pure life-giving streams o’erflow the sower’s garden-ground; and faith and hope fair blossoms show, and fruits of love abound. O King, O Christ, this endless grace to us and all men bring, to see the vision of thy face in joy, O Christ, our King.
