- 1. 1 My heart has found a ready theme,
A song of sweet composing;
My tongue a pen to praise the King
With praises never ending.
2 And You, the King,
Are far more fair
Than all the sons
Of mortal men,
And grace Your God is pouring
Upon Your mouth and on Your lips.
You have been blest forever;
You are the King and blest,
Forever blest, amen.
2. 3 So gird Your sword upon Your thigh,
O great Lord and majestic!
4 Ride forth in glory and in strength.
And in Your glory riding,
Because of truth,
Humility,
And righteousness
You conquer all.
And in Your riding richly
Your right hand teaches awesome things.
5 Your foes are pierced with arrows,
And under You they fall,
They fall beneath Your feet.
3. 6 Your throne, O God, almighty God,
Your throne is everlasting.
The scepter of Your righteous hand
Sustains Your righteous kingdom.
7 You love the right And hate all sin-
So God, Your God
Anointed You
And poured the oil of gladness
Beyond the rank of all Your friends.
8 The spices of Your garments
Are cassia and myrrh
And aloes deep and rich.
4. The spices came from palaces
Of ivory worked and fashioned,
And that aroma made You glad
To greet the royal wedding.
9 King’s daughters were
Among the maids.
At Your right hand
Did stand the queen,
The queen in gold of Ophir.
10 O daughter hear, incline your ear;
So now forget your people,
Forget your father’s house
And take your husband’s name.
5. 11 Your beauty shall the King desire,
He is your Lord and husband,
And you shall serve Him all your days,
With gladness you shall worship.
12 A gift from Tyre
Her daughter brings,
And so the rich
Entreat you now;
They bring to you petitions.
13 A daughter to the King is here
And golden is her clothing,
Embroidered here with gold,
Embroidered now with care.
6. 14 And she is ushered to the King
In bright and glorious raiment
And all her bridesmaids follow her
15 With gladness and rejoicing.
And they shall come
Within the gates,
The palace gates,
To see the King.
So do not mourn or sorrow,
16 To fill the place your fathers left
Your children shall be princes,
17 And I will magnify
Your name forevermore.
