Breaking Bread (Vol. 39) ‎#717

717. Hail, Redeemer, King Divine

1 Hail, redeemer, king divine!
Priest and lamb, the throne is thine;
King whose reign shall never cease,
Prince of everlasting peace.

Refrain:
Angels, saints and nations sing:
"Praised be Jesus Christ, our king;
Lord of earth and sky and sea,
King of love on Calvary."

2 King of everlasting might!
Be to us eternal light,
Till in peace each nation rings
With thy praises, king of kings. [Refrain]
