228. Ruler of Life, We Crown You Now
1 Ruler of life we crown you now
as we your glory see;
Lest I forget your thorn-crowned brow,
lead us to Calvary.
Refrain:
Lest we forget Gethsemane,
lest we forget your agony,
Lest we forget love's victory,
lead us to Calvary.
2 Show us the tomb where you were laid,
tenderly mourned and wept;
Angels in robes of light arrayed
guarded you while you slept. [Refrain]
3 Let us, like Mary, through the gloom,
come with a gift for you;
Show to us now the empty tomb
leading to life anew. [Refrain]
4 May we be willing, Christ, to bear
daily our cross for you,
Even your cup of grief to share;
your love will see us through. [Refrain]
