| 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, | | 83 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. | |
