Second Hymn to Christ the King

Jesu, Thou art our King, To me Thy succour bring. Christ the mighty One art Thou, Help for all on Thee is laid: This the word; I claim it now, Send me now the promised aid.

High on Thy Father’s throne, O, look with pity down! Help, O, help! attend my call, Captive lead captivity; King of glory, Lord of all, Christ, be Lord, be King to me!

I pant to feel Thy sway, And only Thee to obey. Thee my spirit gasps to meet; This my one, my ceaseless prayer, Make, O, make my heart Thy seat; O, set up Thy kingdom there!

Triumph and reign in me, And spread Thy victory: Hell and death and sin control, Pride, and self, and every foe, All subdue; through all my soul Conquering and to conquer go.
