1  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.
