O love beyond all telling, that led you to embrace in love, all love excelling, our lost and fallen race. 3 You come, O Christ, with gladness, in mercy and goodwill, to bring an end to sadness and bid our fears be still. In patient expectation we live for that great day when a renewed creation your glory shall display. Used With Tune: ST. THEODULPH (VALET WILL ICH DER GEBEN) Text Sources: Other translators also

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
