On the Jubilee of the Church Missionary Society.
The King of Glory we proclaim-- Who is the King of Glory? He To seek and save the lost who came, The Jew, the Gentile, bond and free. | Heralds through every clime we send, His great salvation to make known: The Church's Head, the Sinner's Friend, Christ on His mediatorial throne. | Here, for the travail of His soul, He claims the promised heritage, The Father's gift--from pole to pole-- Earth's utmost bound, to time's last age. | 283 Him shall all tongues confess, all knees Shall bow before that mercy-seat, Love reconcile all enemies, Or wrath subdue beneath His feet. | A year of Jubilee we hail! Since we in faith this work began It must go on: it cannot fail While we are true to God and man. | So, Father, glorify Thy Son, So Thou in Him be glorified, Till all the straying sheep are won, For whom the Lord their Shepherd died. | |
