Sing Highest Praises to Our King
© 2009, M. Justin Wainscott
Sing highest praises to our King,
Who left His throne above,
And clothed Himself in flesh to bring
The blessings of His love.
The glory He had long enjoyed,
He humbly set aside;
How great the means which Christ employed
To save a sinful Bride!
In Bethlehem by virgin birth,
As prophets did foretell;
Our God descended to the earth,
And didst among us dwell.
We see Him in the manger lay,
But let us ne’er forget;
This precious Child was born to pay
Our cursed, sinful debt.
This perfect Lamb for sinners slain,
Who died and rose again,
Now sits on David’s throne and reigns
In vict’ry over sin.
So let our longing hearts all burn
With zeal for Christ our King,
And for the day of His return,
When He shall reign supreme!
