Lyrics

O there is none like the bless­èd King of Ju­dah;
Hailed by the world His reign shall be;
Light of the soul and of ag­es ev­er­last­ing,
O there is none so great as He;
They who abide in His pure and ho­ly dwell­ing,
Crowned with de­light
All His won­ders now are tell­ing;
Harp an­swers harp,
And the song of rap­ture swell­ing,
Hallow the name of the Lord our king.

Refrain

O there is none like the bless­èd King of Ju­dah;
Hailed by the world His reign shall be;
Light and hope of ev­er­last­ing ag­es,
O there is none so great as He.

Hark, ’tis the voice of the bless­èd King of Ju­dah,
Sounding afar the sweet com­mand;
Look and be saved,
Are its words of lov­ing kind­ness;
Firm as the hills this truth shall stand;
Look and be saved; O the mil­lions that be­fore Him
Fall at His feet while they wor­ship and adore Him,
Tell of His love while they shout aloud the sto­ry.
Saved and re­deemed by the Lord our king.

Refrain

We will re­joice in the bless­èd King of Ju­dah,
We will ob­ey His voice of love,
Calling away to the fields of end­less plea­sure,
Calling to rest and life above;
When, on the banks of the clear and crys­tal ri­ver,
Those we have loved
We shall meet no more to se­ver,
There we shall sing with the pure in heart for­ev­er,
Praise to the name of the Lord our king.
