1 Jesus, King of glory,
Throned above the sky,
Jesus, tender Saviour,
Hear Thy children cry.
Pardon our transgressions,
Cleanse us from our sin;
By Thy Spirit help us
Heav'nly life to win.
Refrain:
Jesus, King of glory,
Throned above the sky,
Jesus, tender Saviour,
Hear Thy children cry.
2 Help us ever steadfast
In the faith to be:
In Thy Church's conflicts
Fighting valiantly.
Loving Saviour, strengthen
These weak hearts of ours,
Through Thy cross to conquer
Crafty evil powers. [Refrain]
3 When the shadows lengthen,
Show us, Lord, Thy way;
Through the darkness lead us
To the heavenly day;
When our course is finished,
Ended all the strife,
Grant us, with the faithful,
Palms and crowns of life. [Refrain]
Amen.
