christ the king
Thou who wast mocked in false purple by the little rulers,
Who wast crowned with piercing thorns,
Who wast nailed to Thy throne on Golgotha,
Who didst ransom Thy people by the royal Sacrifice of Calvary,
Who didst purchase Thy Kingdom with the Blood of the Atonement,
Who in Thy Resurrection wert the First-born from the dead,
Who in Thy glorified Body art risen triumphant,
Who art enthroned and crowned at the right hand of The Father,
In Whom are all created things in Heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,
Beneath Whom are all thrones and dominations.
Beneath Whom are all principalities and powers,
By Whom all things subsist,
Through Whom all things are reconciled unto Thy Father,
May all nations serve Thee, O Lord.
