Jesus, King of Glory

Jesus, King of glory, throned above the sky, Jesus

W. Hope Davison · 6.5.6.5 D with refrain

1.Jesus, King of glory,
throned above the sky,
Jesus, tender Savior,
hear Thy children cry.
Pardon our transgressions,
cleanse us from our sin,
By Thy Spirit help us
heav'nly life to win.

2.On this day of gladness,
Bending low the knee
In thine earthly temple,
Lord, we worship thee;
Celebrate thy goodness,
Mercy, grace, and truth,
All thy loving guidance
Of our heedless youth.

3.For the little children
Who have come to thee;
For the glad, bright spirits
Who thy glory see;
For the loved ones resting
In thy dear embrace;
For the pure and holy
Who behold thy face,

4.Help us ever steadfast
in the faith to be:
In Thy Church's conflicts
fighting valiantly.
Loving Savior, strengthen
these weak hearts of ours,
Through Thy cross to conquer
crafty evil powers.

5.When the shadows lengthen,
show us, Lord, Thy way;
Through the darkness lead us
to the heav'nly day;
When our course is finished,
ended all the strife,
Grant us, with the faithful,
palms and crowns of life.

RefrainJesus, King of glory,
throned above the sky,
Jesus, tender Savior,
hear Thy children cry.
