Crown Him as your Captain In temptation's hour; Let His will enfold you In its light and pow'r. 5 Christians, this Lord Jesus Shall return again On the clouds of glory, O'er the earth to reign. Love and faithful service We His people vow, And our hearts confess Him King of glory now. Scripture: John 1:1 Used With Tune: KING'S WESTON

So kind and true and tender, so wise a Counselor and guide, so mighty a defender! From him who loves me now so well what pow'r my soul can sever? Shall life or death, shall earth or hell? No! I am his forever. Scripture: John 15:13 Used With Tune: CONSTANCE
