Progressive Sunday School Songs ‎#84

84. Christ Is King

1 Swell the chorus glad and sweet,
Vale and hill the song repeat,
Sunbeams shining, flowers twining,
Making life a joy complete.
Nature’s voices gaily ring,
All creation praise doth sing,
Light and gladness banish sadness,
Christ is King.

Refrain:
Hail Him! Hail Him!
Christ our King,
Thro’ life’s happy golden hours,
Glad with sunshine, bright with flow’rs;
Come rejoicing, praises voicing,
Christ is King.

2 Skies of blue are bright and clear,
Happy hearts are full of cheer,
Lofty mountain, sea and fountain,
Tell of One forever dear;
Float from bush and waving tree,
Bird-notes full of melody,
Songs resounding, love abounding,
Full and free. [Refrain]

3 Swell the chorus loud and strong,
Thor’ the summer aisles along,
Service royal, hearts so loyal,
Unto God our Lord below;
Life is full of joy today,
Untold gladness fills the way,
Children singing, praises ringing,
This bright day. [Refrain]
