6,6,6,6,8,8 O Christ, Thou art my King, Thy cause I make mine own, All that I have I bring, To lay before Thy throne; The oath of fealty now I take, To live and suffer for Thy sake. Less could no loyal soul In true devotion gift; -- My sacrifice the whole, Not part to Thee I lift: -- Lord, at Thy kingly throne I bow, Receive my heart's devotion now. Thou didst not count the cost, O Christ my heavenly king, When Thou didst save the lost By Thy great offering; Thou laid'st Thine ageless glory by, And cam'st to earth for man to die, O Christ, Thou art my King, -- Thy kingdom come, I pray, Till endless praise shall ring Throughout an endless day, And tribute fill the courts of heaven By loyal hearts in fealty given. |
