Christos

Christos

Christos, Christos Lord and King,

Above all names in Heaven ring-

Resounds through all of human strife,

In joy suffusing purposed life!

That you upon the earth would care,

That you upon the cross would bear,

All sin which separates us all,

Into your heart in Heaven’s call.

And, so to you my life I give,

In passionate resolve I’ll live,

Though I may err; each day I’ll sing,

Oh, Christos, Christos Lord and King!
