Author: Jennie Evelyn Hussey, b. 1874 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #200 (1957) First Line: King of my life, I crown Thee now Refrain First Line: Lest I forget Gethsemane Lyrics: 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, through 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) Topics: Christ Cross of; Christ Passion; Christ Sacrifice; Cross of Christ; Passion; Sacrifice; Warnings; The Gospel Warnings and Invitations Languages: English Tune Title: [King of my life, I crown Thee now]
