Lyrics
Verse 1
Oh, lift your eyes to heaven, see the Holy One eternal. Behold the Lord of Majesty, exalted in his temple. As symphonies of angels' praise now strain to sound his glory. Come worship, fall before his grace, the King in all his beauty.
Chorus
How worthy, how worthy, how worthy, the King in all his beauty.
Verse 2
Now see the King who wears a crown, one made of shame and splinters. The Sacrifice for ruined man, the Substitute for sinners. As earth is stained with royal blood, and quakes with love and fury, he breathes his last and bows his head, the King in all his beauty.
Verse 3
Now see the Savior lifted up, the Lamb who reigns in splendor. The hope of ev'ry tribe and tongue, his kingdom is forever. Bring praise and honor to his courts, bring wisdom, power, blessing. For endless ages we'll adore the King in all his beauty.
