Jesus, by the judge allow'd
Supreme in regal power,
Very and eternal God
Let all Thy saints adore:
All the Israelites indeed
Their bleeding King and Saviour own.
On the cross we plainly read
Thy title to the throne.

King proclaim'd in different tongues,
Is our expiring God;
All mankind to Thee belongs,
The purchase of Thy blo 11 1:
Universal Monarch Thou
Command the nations to submit,
Jews and Greeks and Heathens bow
Thy subjects at Thy feet.
