Of men and angels King;
O may our parting souls take flight
Up to that land of joy and light,
And there for ever sing.[77]
In this hymn the first verse is from Faber’s series on ‘The Life of our Lord,’[78] and the rest from Austin’s ‘Vespers for our Blessed Saviour.’ Wesley’s selection from the same hymn began with the verse—
Jesu! behold three kings from far,
Led to Thy cradle by a star,
Bring gifts to Thee their King:
O guide us by Thy light, that we
May find Thy favour and to Thee
