Christ triumphant

Christ triumphant, ever reigning,
Saviour, Master, King,
Lord of heaven, our lives sustaining,
hear us as we sing:
            Yours the glory and the crown,
            the high renown, the eternal name.

Word incarnate, truth revealing,
Son of Man on earth!
power and majesty concealing
by Your humble birth:
            Yours the glory....

Suffering servant, scorned, ill-treated,
victim crucified!
death is through the cross defeated,
sinners justified:
            Yours the glory....

Priestly King, enthroned for ever
high in heaven above!
sin and death and hell shall never
stifle hymns of love:
            Yours the glory....

So, our hearts and voices raising
through the ages long,
ceaselessly upon You gazing,
this shall be our song:
            Yours the glory....
