Author: | Jennie Evelyn Hussey, 1874-1958 |
Tune: | [King of my life I crown Thee now] |
Composer: | Willaim J. Kirkpatrick, 1838-1921 |
1 King of my life I crown Thee now
Thine shall the glory be;
Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow,
Lead me to Calvary.
Refrain:
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
Lest I forget Thine agony,
Lest I forget Thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.
2 Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid,
Tenderly mourned and wept;
Angels in robes of light arrayed
Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept. [Refrain]
3 Let me, like Mary, thru the gloom,
Come with a gift to Thee;
Show to me now the empty tomb
Lead me to Calvary. [Refrain]
4 May I be willing, Lord, to bear
Daily my cross for Thee;
Even Thy cup of grief to share
Thou hast borne all for me. [Refrain]
