_ON SUNDAY JUNE 20, 1897._

_Written by the late Bishop of Wakefield._

_Set to Music by Sir Arthur Sullivan. (Facsimile of the Original MS._)

King of kings, Whose reign of old Hath been from everlasting, Before Whose throne their crowns of gold The white-rob'd saints are casting; While all the s.h.i.+ning courts on high With Angel songs are ringing, Oh let Thy children venture nigh, Their lowly homage bringing.

2 For every heart, made glad by Thee, With thankful praise is swelling; And every tongue, with joy set free, Its happy theme is telling.

Thou hast been mindful of Thine own, And lo! we come confessing-- 'Tis Thou hast dower'd our queenly throne With sixty years of blessing.

3 Oh Royal heart, with wide embrace For all her children yearning!

Oh happy realm, such mother-grace With loyal love returning!

Where England's flag flies wide unfurl'd, All tyrant wrongs repelling; G.o.d make the world a better world For man's brief earthly dwelling!

4 Lead on, O Lord, Thy people still, New grace and wisdom giving, To larger love, and purer will, And n.o.bler heights of living.

And, while of all Thy love below They chant the gracious story, Oh teach them first Thy Christ to know, And magnify His glory. _Amen._
