Christ My Song - 1191

To our Lord a throne is giv'n
(Thomas Kelly/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

To our Lord a throne is giv'n.

"Sing praises to our King." (Psalm 47,6)

1. To our Lord a throne is giv'n,
  his the highest place in heav'n;
on his vesture shine the words,
  "King of kings, and Lord of lords." PDF - Midi

2. Heir of all things, rightful heir,
  in the honour none can share;
fruit of toil, and strife, and pain,
  hard the warfare, rich the gain.

3. Saviour, all is now thine own,
  sway the sceptre, fill the throne;
thine the suff'ring and the toil,
  thine the glory and the spoil.

4. We, thy ransomed people, sing,
  Glory, glory to our King;
strangers here, and far from home,
  thee we look for, soon to come.

5. Then, and only then, shall we
  gain our rest, and happy be;
thus then should thy people pray,
  Hasten, Lord, the glorious day.

Thomas Kelly, Hymns on various passages of Scripture, ca. 1853, Hymn 218.
