Preparing Christ the King's feast: hymn "To Thee, Prince of All That Be"
1. To thee, O Prince of all that
be, Thou Christ, O King
eternally;
O Framer of the mind and
heart, Our one true Judge we
say thou art.
2. The wicked protest, wail
and cry, Christ Jesus' reign
they would deny;
Rejoice we at thy glorious
name, Thou Highest King we
do proclaim.
3. O Christ! The Source of all
our peace, Make all our sinful
thoughts to cease;
And still in us our loves
misplaced, As Thy one
sheepfold be we embraced.
4. For this, hanging on cruel
tree, With arms outstretched,
for all to see;
His heart is pierced by
soldier's spear, Revealing
burning love most dear.
5. From this the altar of the
tree Thy blood flows forth
from Calvary;
As wine to us it doth appear,
To thine own heart it draws us
near.
6. Thou Governor of all that
be, May all thy creatures
honour thee;
All those who rule, O Lord
renew! Source of all precepts
just and true.
7. To regal glory, all submit,
All crowns and honours we do
remit;—
To thy scepter—so sweet and
mild! Submit we as a little
child.
8. All glory be, Jesu, to thee,
Thy scepter over all that be;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen
