HYMN

(An imitation)


The Judge enthroned on high,

One God who made all things;

He is the Lord of kings,

The Judge enthroned on high.


Sweet in heaven’s citadel

He makes the light descend;

Beginning and the End

Sweet in heaven’s citadel.


All things make manifest

His power, with one accord;

The holy King our Lord

All things make manifest.


Man’s error turned and fled

When Christ the Healer came;

When Christ bore sin and shame

Man’s error turned and fled.


The Father’s chosen One

Has challenged death alone;

He is upon the throne

The Father’s chosen One.


The beaten serpent groans

And Christ is Lord of all;

While heaven’s beams enthrall

The beaten serpent groans.


Good folk in sweet repose

Enjoy their endless rest;

By those the Lord is blessed

Good folk in sweet repose.


Raising their faithful words

They voice their royal songs:

Behold the heavenly throngs

Raising their faithful words.


To Thee, majestic Lord,

With stately songs they sing;

Unceasing praise they bring

To Thee, majestic Lord!
