Come and praise the King of Glory
   Come and praise the King of Glory,
   born for us in poverty:
   Jesus, Saviour, Lord most worthy,
   Raised to highest majesty!
1 Prophets, speak his wondrous name:
 'Mighty God', 'the Prince of Peace'.
   Come and praise the King of Glory,
   see his kingdom still increase:
   Jesus, Saviour, Lord most worthy,
    Christ whose reign shall never cease.
2 Mary, greet your Child with joy,
  your Redeemer's mercy tell.
   Come and praise the King of Glory,
   sent from heaven on earth to dwell:
   Jesus, Saviour, Lord most worthy,
   Son of God, Emmanuel.
3 Shepherds, hear the angels sing,
  leave your fears - no longer stray.
   Come and praise the King of Glory -
   grace from God is ours today:
   Jesus, Saviour, Lord most worthy,
   Lamb who takes our sins away.
4 Wise men, guided by his star,
  lay your treasures at his feet.
   Come and praise the King of Glory
   As in heaven he takes his seat:
   Jesus, Saviour, Lord most worthy,
   now enthroned, his work complete.
5 Let's unite to worship him,
  Christ who died to set us free.
   Come and praise the King of Glory,
   Born in deep humility:
   Jesus, Saviour, Lord most worthy,
   crowned for all eternity!
