Christ is King of earth and heaven!\nLet his subjects all proclaim\nIn the splendour of his temple\nHonour to his holy name.\n83\n2. Christ is King! No soul created\nCan refuse to bend the knee\nTo the God made man who reigneth,\nAs ‘twas promised, from the tree.\n3. Christ is King! Let humble sorrow\nFor our past neglect atone,\nFor the lack of faithful service\nTo the master whom we own.\n4. Christ is King! Let joy and gladness\nGreet him; let his courts resound\nWith the praise of faithful subjects\nTo his love in honour bound.\n5. Christ is King! In health and sickness,\nTill we breathe our latest breath,\nTill we greet in highest heaven\nChrist the victor over death.
