King Eternal
Leonard Layne
King eternal, Unto Thee all praises sing.
With the Father, ever dwelling
And the Spirit, ever more.
Blessed oneness changing never,
Infinite in Love and power.
King eternal, Unto Thee our presents bring.
Sovereign of the eternal ages
Stooping low in manger stall.
Leaving His celestial splendor
For a body like us all.
King eternal, unto Thee, unto Thee our thanks we bring.
Sinless Lord, His body battered
Sins dread curse upon Him fell.
And His precious blood was spattered
Saved us from the pangs of Hell.
King eternal, unto Thee we’ll ever sing.
The Risen Victor now is seated
In the Heavens, His Father’s home.
Soon returning in His glory
Even so, Lord Jesus come.
1 Timothy 1.17
