The lyrics are based on the Biblical account of King Solomon's anointing, as described at I Kings 1:34-35:
Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophetAnointed Solomon king.And all the people rejoiced and said:God save the King! Long live the King!God save the King! May the King live for ever!Amen. Hallelujah!

Thank you so much for this I missed much of the coronation and this sacred moment in particular.
You're welcome. It was not until I went searching for this piece that I realized I had never heard it in toto as one piece. Magnificent, isn't it?
