⁣Lyrics:

The great Enoch had a vision
Where he was taken up into Heaven
He saw the Ancient of Days,
Lord of Spirits, and Son of Man

Who is this Son of Man?
Who exists before time began?
Full of righteousness
The Model of uprightness

Behold! In the clouds of Heaven
There comes One like the Son of Man!
The Ancient of Days has given Him
Dominion over all the land
To Him goes all the glory
He shall rule over everything
And His kingdom lasts forever
Behold! It’s Christ the King!

Just like His Heavenly Father
He is to be worshipped and adored
To the righteous He brings salvation
And to the sinners He brings the sword

He has been revealed before the righteous
Who believe everything He has said
When the Last Judgment comes
He shall judge the living and the dead

He is the Chosen One
The Elect of the elect
He is the King of kings
To Him, all will be subject
He’s the true Messiah
The Righteous One
To Him be all the glory
Behold it’s God the Son!

Behold the Son of Man!
(Behold! It’s Christ the King!)
