Lord Of Glory, We Adore Thee

Lord of Glory, We Adore Thee,
Christ of God, ascended high;
Heart and soul we bow before Thee,
Glorious now beyond the sky; Thee we worship, Thee we praise,Excellent in all Thy ways.
Mighty King, with glory crowned,
Rightful Heir and Lord of all:
Once rejected, scorned, disowned,
E’en by those Thou cam’st to call: Thee we honour, Thee adore,Glorious now and evermore.
Lord of life, to death made subject,
Blesser, yet a curse once made;
Of Thy Father’s heart the object,
Yet in depths of anguish laid: Thee we gaze on, Thee recall,Bearing here our sorrows all.
Royal robes shall soon invest Thee,
Royal splendours crown Thy brow;
Christ of God, our souls confess Thee
King and Sovereign even now; Thee we reverence, Thee obey,Own Thee Lord and Christ alway.—Richard Holden (1828-1886)

“We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery,
the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory,
which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known,
they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
But as it is written:
‘Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
nor have entered into the heart of man
the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.’
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.
For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.”
—1 Corinthians 2:7-10 NKJV
