CPWI Hymnal ‎#127

127. Thou art the King of Israel

Refrain:
All glory, laud, and honour
to thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.

1 Thou art the King of Israel,
thou David's royal Son,
who in the Lord's name comest,
the King and blessèd one. [Refrain]

2 The company of angels
are praising thee on high,
and mortal men and all things
created make reply. [Refrain]

3 The people of the Hebrews
with palms before thee went:
our praise and prayer and anthems
before thee we present. [Refrain]

4 To thee before thy Passion
they sang their hymns of praise:
to thee now high exalted
our melody we raise. [Refrain]

5 Thou didst accept their praises:
accept the prayers we bring,
who in all good delightest,
thou good and gracious King. [Refrain]
