Hymns of the Russian Church ‎#82

82. O Christ, Thou art my King

O Christ, Thou art my King,
Thy cause I make mine own,
All that I have I bring,
To lay before Thy throne;
The oath of fealty now I take,
To live and suffer for Thy sake.

Less could no loyal soul
In true devotion gift;--
My sacrifice the whole,
Not part to Thee I lift:--
Lord, at Thy kingly throne I bow,
Receive my heart's devotion now.

Thou didst not count the cost,
O Christ my heavenly king,
When Thou didst save the lost
By Thy great offering;
Thou laid'st Thine ageless glory by,
And cam'st to earth for man to die,

83
O Christ, Thou art my King,--
Thy kingdom come, I pray,
Till endless praise shall ring
Throughout an endless day,
And tribute fill the courts of heaven
By loyal hearts in fealty given.
