A hymn for today….

Christ Triumphant, ever reigning

Christ triumphant, ever reigning,
Saviour, Master, King,
Lord of heav’n, our lives sustaining,
hear us as we sing:
ours the glory and the crown,
the high renown, th’eternal name.

Word incarnate, truth revealing
Son of Man on earth!
Pow’r and majesty, concealing
by your humble birth:
Yours the glory . . .

Suff’ring servant, scorned, ill-treated,
victim crucified!
Death is through the cross defeated,
sinners justified:
Yours the glory . . .

Priestly King, enthroned for ever
high in heav’n above!
Sin and death and hell shall never
stifle hymns of love:
Yours the glory . . .

So, our hearts and voices raising
through the ages long
ceaselessly upon you gazing,
this shall be our song:
Yours the glory . . .
