Psalm 132: Arise, O King of Grace, Arise (O Savior, Come)

Psalm 132: Arise, O King of Grace, Arise (O Savior, Come)

Price range: $0.00 through $25.00

Psalm 132 is not only one of the Psalms of Ascent, it is also one of the lectionary Psalms used in Advent. Isaac Watts teases out Christological imagery from the Psalm in a way that makes it a perfect Advent song, especially paired with the chorus, “O Savior Come.” However, it is not so Advent-specific that it can’t be used throughout the year, especially on Christ the King Sunday.

PowerPoint slides for congregational singing are available from Digital Songs & Hymns.

1. Arise, O King of grace, arise,
And enter to your rest:
Lo your Church waits with longing eyes
Thus to be owned and blessed.

O Savior, come! Take up your throne;
O Savior, dwell with us. O dwell in us.
O Savior, come! Make us your home;
O Savior, dwell in us.

2. Enter with all your glorious train,
Your Spirit and your Word;
All that the ark did once contain
Could no such grace afford. 

O Savior, come…

3. Here, mighty God, accept our vows,
Here let your praise be spread;
Bless the provision of your house,
And fill your poor with bread. 

O Savior, come…

4. Here let the Son of David reign
Let God’s Anointed shine;
Justice and truth his court maintain,
With love and power divine. 

O Savior, come…

5. Here let him hold a lasting throne;
And as his kingdom grows,
Fresh honors shall adorn his crown,
And shame confound his foes.

O Savior, come…
