Christ our King
Christ our King
Great Eternal God of heaven,
Mighty are your works forever,
Sending down from up above,
Your only begotten Son of love.
Greater love could not be given,
Than this precious gift from heaven.
He came to earth, a tiny babe,
Grew up wise and strong and brave,
Twelve years wisdom strengthened in,
About His Fathers business when,
The temple He had interred in, conversing
With the teachers there, they found such
Wisdom from a child.
He grew to manhood's thirty years,
When time had come to be fulfilled,
The words of old that had been told of
Kingship upon His shoulders lay,
The Prince of peace, no more delay!
He gave His perfect sinless life for
All the sins of human strife. He shed
His blood to wash us clean that He
Might cloth us with His garment white,
All wrapped about with our Saviors life.
