1 O Christ, our King, Creator, Lord, Saviour of all who trust Thy word, To them who seek Thee ever near, Now to our praises bend Thine ear. 2 In Thy dear cross a grace is found - It flows from every streaming wound - Whose power our inbred sin controls, Breaks the firm bond, and frees our souls. 3 Thou didst create the stars of night; Yet Thou hast veiled in flesh Thy light, Hast deigned a mortal form to wear, A mortal's painful lot to bear. 4 When Thou didst hang upon the tree, The quaking earth acknowledge Thee; When Thou didst there yield up Thy breath, The world grew dark as shades of death. 5 Now in the Father's glory high, Great Conqueror, never more to die, Us by Thy mighty power defend, And reign through ages without end. Amen.
