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…
