The Minstrel of Zion ‎#91

91. God is our King

1 Our Father, God, and King,
Sovereign of earth and skies,
Thy praise our tongues would sing,
In pray'r our hearts would rise,
We praise thee for thy blessings past,
We praise thee for thy blessings past,
And pray that they may ever last.

2 Thou art our King alone--
No other King have we;
And thy beloved Son
Has died to make us free.
Whom he makes free is free indeed,
For he supplies our every need.

3 Accept our youthful lay,
The tribute which we bring;
Our hearts and voices say,
"For ever live, O King!"
Thy reign extend from sea to sea:
And all thy local subjects be.
