King of my life, I crown Thee now,
|
|
| 1. | King of my life, I crown Thee now, |
| | Thine shall the glory be; |
| | Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow, |
| | Lead me to Calvary. |
| | Lest I forget Gethsemane; |
| | Lest I forget Thine agony; |
| | Lest I forget Thy love for me, |
| | Lead me to Calvary. |
| 2. | Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid, |
| | Tenderly mourned and wept; |
| | Angels in robes of light arrayed |
| | Guarded Thee while Thou slept. |
| 3. | Let me like Mary, through the gloom, |
| | Come with a gift to Thee; |
| | Show to me now the empty tomb, |
| | Lead me to Calvary. |
| 4. | May I be willing, Lord, to bear |
| | Daily my cross for Thee; |
| | Even Thy cup of grief to share, |
| | Thou hast borne all for me. |
| 5. | Fill me, O Lord, with Thy desire |
| | For all that know not Thee; |
| | Then touch my lips with holy fire, |
| | To speak of Calvary. |
