Christ the Lord, My Heavenly King

Christ the Lord, my Heavenly King Source of peace and rest With gratitude for everything I promise thee my best In this, my lowly station Thy love for me is clear Thy path is my salvation Thy word is mine to hear Thy meek and humble story Hath won the hearts of men Through resurrection's glory Our hope to live again Thy vision is the flame That burns away my guilt Inside thy goodly blame My love for thee is built Thou shineth me a light To help me find my way My comfort in the night And dawn of my new day The follies of the flesh Are sins I can resist Each day is new and fresh To help my faith persist The knowledge that I can Is happily my reason To be the kind of man Who peaks in every season Thou blesseth me above With mercy for my sins And in thy boundless love My joy in thee begins The promise in thy name Is meant for me to trust That resurrection's claim Will lift me from the dust Thy rock is my foundation Thy righteousness my sword The strength of every nation That seeks to serve the Lord Thy love for me is pure Thy word has told me so That blessings will endure To help my spirit grow If thou would have me still Lead on, thy tender hand For now I leave my will To serve at thy command.
