In Loud Exalted Strains by Horatio W. Parker — Lyrics
1. In loud, exalted strains
The King of Glory praise.
O'er heaven and earth He reigns
Through everlasting days;
But, Sion, with His presence blest,
Is His delight, His chosen rest.
2. O King of Glory, come
And with Thy favor crown
This temple as Thy home,
This people as Thy own.
Beneath this roof vouchsafe to show
How God can dwell with men below.

About In Loud Exalted Strains
Horatio W. Parker's setting of In Loud Exalted Strains is a hymn for SATB choir, set to English words. It opens with a declaration of the King of Glory's eternal reign, before turning to petition for God's presence to bless a temple and its people. The text continues with supplications for acceptance of praise and for the spread of the Gospel's truth. It concludes with a vision of the congregation joining with heavenly hosts in joyful song, all who seek God's face rejoicing in His abundant grace. This sacred work offers a rich expression of praise and devotion.
