#231Blest Be the King
Hymn Display
1
Blest be the King whose coming is in the name of God!
For Him let doors be opened, no hearts against Him barred!
Not robed in royal splendor, in power and pomp comes He;
But clad as are the poorest, such His humility.
2
By those who truly listen His voice is truly heard;
He speaks in love and comfort, all pity like a bird.
The proud and haughty, who have not learned to heed
The meek shall find all glory and humble He.
3
He only to the humble reveals the face of God.
All power is His, all glory! All things are in His hand,
All light His yoke shall be, for gentle Christ will end.
4
He offers to the burdened the rest and grace they need.
Let us as are the poorest, till time itself shall end,
He would have us bear it, so He can made us free!
