Our hearts are overflowing

   To speak a goodly thing —

To tell what we've experienced

   Of our exalted King.

Our tongues as pens are ready,

   We've volumes here to "write" —

The glories of our Bridegroom,

   Our Lord and our delight.

 2 

Lord Jesus, Thou art fairer

   Than all the sons of men;

Thy goodness is transcendent —

   Hallelujah! Amen!

Upon Thy lips most holy

   Abundant grace is poured;

Forever God has blessed Thee,

   Our gracious, glorious Lord!

 3 

Thou art the mighty Warrior

   Who rides to victory;

In Thy majestic glory

   Ride on triumphantly!

The peoples fall beneath Thee —

   The conquering One Thou art.

Thine arrows in their sharpness

   Have entered Satan's heart!

 4 

Thy throne, O God, forever

   And ever shall endure;

The sceptre of Thy kingdom

   Upon the earth is sure.

'Tis with the oil of gladness

   God has anointed Thee

Above all Thy companions —

   How worthy there to be!

 5 

Of aloes, myrrh, and cassia

   Do all Thy garments smell:

Thy death and resurrection

   Do all Thy deeds forthtell.

Out of the local churches

   Shall praises make Thee glad,

And praises upon praises

   Thy joyful saints shall add.
